I'm afraid that what makes them rare is the fact that few survive for a normal life. I am also afraid that the prize we put on our tinies is encouraging unethical breeders to release puppies to unsuspecting buyers at an earlier than actual age so they can say they are teacups and charge a higher price.
Too many of us are buying the pups as vanity items that become surplus when they grow larger than desired or fail to satisfy the ego boosting attention needed by immature and/or greedy owners.
It is desperately important that we stop breeding for selfish motives.
