He is too small to even be let down. He would need to be carried to prevent someone from not seeing him at being only one pound.

Have you guys ever wondered about these BYB that may be advertising a younger puppy just to sell it claiming that it only weighs one pound when actually after growing up, it will weigh more? I think that goes on quite a bit. For example, this puppy may be only be 6 or 8 weeks old but she is advertising it to be 16 weeks.

I have never in my life saw a grown dog to weigh one pound. Have any of you?
Oh you are totally right. It happens all the time. I don't know how many of my customers who were undereducated that said to me "well she was supposed to be a teacup". Oh I just cringe.

My breeder on the other hand, was a bit scatterbrained. She said Uni was 8 wks when we first looked at her, but once I seen her paperwork she was actually 12. Which was great, I got to get her right away.

But , uh noooo, I have never seen a dog less than 1 pound. Sad really. Hope he is going to be ok.
