OK, so I am finally writing to tell my story about my precious 4 month old "Oni". I bought a teacup(I know since I have read this site that that is a bad word) from this breeder and paid dearly for it. He was 1 lb and 3oz at 12 weeks and 1 lb 8oz at 13 weeks. He had diarrhea the first week I had him and he was all belly. Suddenly, he started gaining weight and gained over 1 lb a week for the next several weeks and currently at 4 months weighs about 4 lbs. He was suppose to weigh total 3-3 1/2 lbs. I know people on this site say don't worry about the size and he is so cute and he is adorable. But my heart was set on a smaller dog. I always wanted a small dog(3-5 lbs) and I did not come to this site until after my purchase and did all the wrong things that I should had investigated. My excitement of getting a dog was beyond my judgement. My daughter was in a auto accident back in Oct of 2008 and she had tramatic brain injury and I have been by her side since then and we almost lost her 3 times. The dog was my way to get outside of her problems and do something for myself. This breeder will never know the hurt he cause me by being dishonest. I love my "Oni" and he is so smart. I just had to give up my idea of my perfect dog and it coming on the trail of alot of hard hard months of intensive nursing my daughter back to health. She likes a long way to go for recovery(tramatic brain injury take a long time). Any way I tried contact the breeder and of course no response. I just wanted to share this with everybody cause I needed to unload on somebody. Oni is toally crate trained and working on potty trained. He is a very smart dog. It is not the dog, it is my concept of getting what I wanted and him robbing me of my "therapy" by what I thought I wanted. Please don't get on me for my dream of a small dog, it was a release of alot of hard hard months and it is what it is. I love him, of course I just had to give up the "imagery" of what I thought I wanted. Thanks for listening.
