Ridiculous  And it will keep happening because people perpetuate how cool it is to own a small dog. They are cute, yes, but it takes a very special person to provide the kind of care those wee little ones require!! Phew! I could not do it, that's for sure.
How about calling it "Tinies against Teacups"??  |
Why? My 3 and 4 pounders do everything the larger ones do...and they don't require anything different from the others.... I don't find them to be any extra work at all.
Now what IS a problem is the tiny tiny puppies that breeders sell too early and they end up with all sorts of issues...hypoglycemia being one. Once a pup is an adult those issues are not there unless they are just sickly.
