Those poor little babies!! I can't understand how one can be so cruel. My girls are 5lbs and are still very small to me and worry me enough;I just can't imagine breeding one any smaller that is like 3lbs. They truly don't care about their well being breeding that small.

I do see the appeal of a small dog but not one that is only 1lb. My Hershey is 3lbs (not bred for size, he just stayed small) and is the smallest I would ever want as you constantly have to be careful with them and worry about the slightest thing. I just can't see how a 1lb dog could live a normal life as a dog and they should have that right.

Sometimes I wonder if people really know how small a 1lb dog really is. Years ago when I first heard of "teacups" I met a lady who had a teacup chihuahua that was only 1lb if that. He was prancing around his owners foot and I remember being so scared she might accidentally squish him by just moving her foot.
