My main reason for not wanting a tiny is the risk of injury. My dog is 7lbs and I'm still constantly on guard and worried about her getting hurt. I loved her tiny puppy cuteness but it was a relief when she reached 5lbs and felt sturdier. I wouldn't want a dog smaller than 4-5lbs.
My other issues with tinies is the poor breeding practices many tiny breeders use and their higher risk for dental issues.
As long as you buy from a good breeder, are willing to adjust your house & life, and can pay for dentals and injuries I don't have a problem with people getting tinies. |
