Standard breedings we will run into these small kids from time to time. I know I have a little girl right now Prissy that is 4 mos. old and only weighs 1 pound 12 ozs. Mom is a little over 5 pounds and Dad was almost 5 pounds as well. Due to her size I have been in no hurry in placing her and feel very comfortable with her being with me right now until the right home presents itself. Puppies at this size takes more care as far as I am concerned and special care.

Here is my baby girl!! I love her to death...
I agree - and not just because I'm looking to buy one. I can understand paying more based on pedigrees etc. but size just makes no sense. The little girl I want was one of 5 in a litter - the other 4 were standard size and have sold already. I don't know how the breeder can say that a "teacup" is NOT a runt... how is it not? Unless you are breeding two extremely tiny dogs together to make teeny tiny babies, a smaller puppy mixed in with standards would be considered a runt in any other breed would it not?
It's nice to know there are breeders out there like you!

Love your little girl! What a beauty!
