Absolutely! I researched out the wazoolie, found a good breeder - and knew I was getting the runt!! She's amazing, but I do worry about her size! I know that being so small can pose risk, and I watch out for those things. Thankfully, I know her entire history, lineage, etc...
And to the previous poster - I can't even believe that someone would pay $10,000 for a puppy
Even if I had that kind of money... isn't the health, integrity and stability of the
breed the most important thing? I love this breed for a reason, and it would be comforting to know that it's being preserved - the right way
Along the same note - my daughter's roomie paid $6,000 for a *teacup maltese* What!?? If I showed you a picture of this dog and asked you what breed it was I'd bet my last dime you would say it's a Westie. Again, I ask myself -what are people thinking? It's an adorable dog - but, not what was advertised, and she calls him a *teacup*
when asked what kind of dog he is... umm... he's about 15lbs, I guess *teacups* are getting bigger?
Education... read... know....
