I never recommend anyone buying a dog by size alone, or even by looks alone. I think it's important to know if the breeder does health testing. I do think she's beautiful.
I agree. She is beautiful, but I'd beware about the breeder using the word "teacup". 9 times out of 10 breeders use this word as a money making scheme.
