I am not defending the scum out there selling teacups for $10,000... I was ONLY talking about the breeders and buyers I know in my area.
Part of being a good breeder is constant education. I think I was trying to educate people that shelters in San Francisco are getting 2 "teacups" a day, and it wasn't that long ago, that shelters seldom got smaller dogs. Didn't you say that you didn't see the video? Perhaps if you watched it, you would have a better understanding of my point. I'm trying to point out that the term "Purse puppies", isn't a good one for buyers or breeders to use, it implies that these smaller dogs require little care. It doesn't bother me in the least if a puppy buyer uses the term "teacup."
