Most people don't even know that she is a special need pup....unless she goes to kiss them and then her tongue comes out her nose...lol that usually freaks people out...hehehe If I can get hubby to post pictures tomorrow I will....

This was my moms first litter and our vet said we probably shouldn't breed her again because he told me that the cause of a cleft pallate isn't known....it could be that she got into a pesticide during pregnancy or just a gene problem....I asked the breeder of the mom is they had any problems but she said they didn't...(not sure if I believe her cause 2 of the moms litter mates died and they didn't give us an answer as to why)
Lizzie also had a brother and a sister and they are very healthy...they weigh about 7 or 8 pounds but Lizzie is only at 4.5 lbs.

Thanks so much for sharing U're story with me, Yes please post photos of her.

Can I ask what kind of Pesticide did she get into while she was pregnant? Did U adopt her from someone else or did U whelp her? Just wondering.
