We're willing to learn. If you have proof in fact of any stage of early cellular development, gene pairings, embryonic or fetal formation in tiny/teacup dogs NOT are adversely affected in a way that can increase disease-related pathology due to the tiny size of the lines involved in a particular breeding, please link us to the source documents supporting that position. And please, not just one or two by one noted geneticist but a preponderance of source documents by noted geneticists stating teacup or ultra small dogs have no more non-injury medical problems than standard-sized dogs of that breed.
In the meantime, we do know from Googling that there are ad nauseum pages after pages of statements that teacup, ultra small, pocket or tiny dogs being rife with medical problems.
