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.
Ha Ha - I was going to say that the only time I can see the whites of their eyes is if I got their topknot too tight. When I see that, I apologize and loosen it.
