I've seen some websites where you can see lots of white and this can be an indication of hydrocephalus or water on the brain, it can come from breeding for tinies. Some breeders will stoop to low measures, in hopes that their offspring will be smaller than normal, and this can mean that they withhold proper nourishment from pregnant mothers. Unfortunately, this does not necessary make offspring smaller as adults, but it does cause many other physical problems.

Another reason the white can show, is the topknot is too tight; some breeders put the topknot tight so that the ears will look closer together. This too is bad for it can cause the skin to die and a bald spot appear.

Also, some websites photoship a lot, to make their dogs look more desirable.
