From my experience you can't believe most breeders when they tell you a dog is going to be tiny. Usually they say that and the dog ends up being normal size. So I usually ignore the weight and look at the dog or weigh it myself and talk with my vet. So many breeders claim their dogs don't get past 2 pounds and then you talk to people that own the dogs and they are like 4 or 5 full grown. Also, some breeders are saying the dog is full grown at 6months and I have never had a dog that completely stopped growing at 6 months. Sometimes when you get it they are not feeding it properly either so it will gain when you take it home. Or they are selling you a dog that is younger than they are saying it is. I'm not new to tiny dogs I know breeders can play tricks. My main concern is a healthy dog. |
If you aren't looking for tiny but are looking for healthy, the two websites you posted or ones like those are not where you are going to find yourself dealing with someone reputable.
Why not find a reputable breeder who isn't a broker and doesn't advertise teacups, etc and does give health guarantees that they will honor? And is honest about their dogs and knows their lines very well?
