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!
I have to tell you I hate the word teacup.. And the thought of those that will breed something that small to try to produce pocket pets. They are not taking the welfare of the dog in accountability and that outrages me to be honest!! Then to do this for the $$$ To capitalize from the this... don't want to get me started on that one....lol!!

The joke will be on this breeder if the runt grows bigger than it's littermates, because this happens as well...

Thank you for the compliment on Prissy. I know in the near future I will have to place her as she deserves to be placed into her forever home soon, I just have been enjoying her and her brother (whom I am keeping) and again with the size issue I just have to be confident she gets the right home for her.
