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.

I hate to say this but you would have been better off to have sold them to people that would be sure not to sit on them!
