Sometimes reputable breeders might charge more for small but most don’t that generally done by bad breeders and puppy mills. No reputable breeder would sale dog a dog with a color fault for more money either in fact most would go less exspecially a show breeder because it is a fault and isn’t bred for on purpose. If you really knew how much that word has destroyed our loved breed and what terrible things go to create those little ones you wouldn’t support it. I stand strong that it is a terrible word that destroyed our breed and that puppy mills and bad breeders stand behind it simply to make money. In order to be thought of as a reputable breeder besides all the other stuff that needs to be done then you will not use the word plain and simple. |
Please explain how a WORD destroyed a breed? Actions and poor judgment destroyed the breed. Teacup is solely a descriptive word. And not all tiny or teacup dogs are poorly breed it's completely possible for 4 and 5 pound dogs to produce 2-3 pound puppies. If you want to put that much emphasis on a word then go ahead. Whatever words I use to describe my dogs doesn't take away from their amazing lines and hard earned titles or health clearances. Some breeders are too old school and up tight and really need to loosen up.
