I realize there are risks and I'll have to be extra careful.
The breeder I've been talking to has been very helpful and has patiently answered my gazillion questions

efblair: I'm very sorry to hear about your dog being stolen. How awful for you

PartPixie: I'm sorry about your little Diva. That had to be very hard for you.
Thanks again and if anyone has more suggestions or first hand experiences, I would love to hear from you

Great thread, many thoughtful answers!

Be careful, many breeders will lie about how big the adult weight will be and some who advertise teacups will often sell dogs over standard size. How does she know it will only weight 2 pounds, how old is it now? Remember, while some healthy tinies are small, some dogs are small because the have liver shunt, so an abnormally small dog, may have other health concerns. Best of luck!
