It's unfortunate, that recently, there are many who would choose one of the Toy Breeds, have a fixation on having one that is very small. This has put a terrific burden on Breeders to cause those accommodations. Those who have resisted, should be applauded.
Often, an experienced Owner doesn't understand the Health Problems caused by downsize breeding, and experiences a life long periphery of those, and frequently a premature death.
