My parents use to raise Peekapoos. We ended up with one that was 1lb 4oz. We were not breeding for that size at all. We actually had 2 born that were runts of the litter and had to be hand fed because they could not nurse for the 1st week or so of life. The one died in a couple of days but the one that survived had 3 sets of teeth. It seemed to be a bit mentally handicapped. It was cute as a button. Wind up her tail and she would run around like a toy mechanical dog. We all loved her very much. She lived ot be 8yrs old. She died not of being sick but being sat on by my ex-brother inlaw that hated her from the get go. We lost 2 of our dogs that way. Somehow they ended up under the sofa cushion.
I would not breed a dog to be that size. Runts are of poor health. But it is nice that when they are born someone loves them. I hope it gets a good and loving home. We would never sale the runts because of knowing they would not be healthy.
