I am so upset by this, because I see ads that say, teacups, very tiny, 6 weeks old. Of course, they are tiny at 6 wks. that's why they sell them so young, while they are still so small
No one leaves with one of my puppies without saying the magic words, "I don't care how big or small she/he grows to, I will love them no matter what"
Luckily for me, I have found my puppies homes thru YT, where folks no better
A Maltese breeder on the forum I belong to said the exact same thing. She said people rarely ask about health testing, genetic screening or even pedigrees.

She said she gets the same two questions all the time:

Do you have females?

How big will they get?
