It isn't the teacup thing that annoyed me, I see teacup as just another word for tiny or small. It was the attitude that got to me. We all love our dogs no matter their size and to say it with the tone that smaller is better just irked me. I don't even think he realized how he was saying it, maybe i took it up wrong. ( I do live in a hormone jungle these days
)
I did want Pita to be on the small size like she is, I have to admit I didn't want her to be more than 5 pounds so that she would still be portable as that is what I wanted in a dog. She goes everywhere with me and it would be harder if she was any bigger.
So I did buy her because she was going to be small and I don't see anything wrong with that as long as you are prepared for the consequenses should things go wrong. Breeding for a small dog is not completely unethical to me but it should be within reason as the breed standard is 4-7 pounds.
