Now at 7 months, he is about 3 1/2 lbs and my husband always comments on how small he still is. I still worry so much about him and am always worried that he will get caught underfoot and get hurt, I mean, a large book falling off the bookshelf could do this dog in and that is not a joke. Breeding a dog for this size and then asking such prices, to me, is unethical.
How would we feel if people started breeding white girls who would weigh no more than 115lbs when matured and then aksing prospective adoptive parents to pay FAR more for them than for other races or weights. Think about it. |
I think tinies come in litters 20% of the time is what I have heard from breeders. They are not always intentionally bred to be small they just happen as the runt of the litter.
