Am I the only one who feels this way? Just curious... |
Nope your not the only one who is confused why someone would "want" a runt. The 4lb - 7lbs breed standard is very small as is, I really can't understand why people would desire anything smaller.
This isn't an attack on anyone btw, I realise that some people are not educated on the down side of "teacups" until after purchase esp when there are so many unscrupulous breeders out there.
