it mentioned on kukis profile that she is hopefully going to have puppies and it was that which lead to him contacting me. i was annoyed that bambi stopped growing- i never wanted a tiny and i have used her as an example of why they shouldn't be bred so small. he said 'since i wasn't using it' meaning since you are not going to breed her (shes booked in for her spay)' and i do say on the profile all the problems owning a tiny (even a perfectly healthy one) can cause... thats why it annoyed me so much... i'm not advertising the pups yet either- just mentioned that she is Hopefully expecting...

| I understand. But I maintain ethical breeders don’t show photos of a 3 lb dog. People will be attracted to the size. Due to the public access on websites its harmful to the breed. People don't care enough to want a healthy dog. Cute can by more appealing than healthy. More people will want a tiny one after seeing a cute picture. So why create that desire? |

| ah, see your point now... the profiles wern't supposed to be advertising anything (puppies, the breed in general or their size)- just for my friends to keep up to date- and i didnt really use it much anyway so have now cancelled my account. i never thought of it that way- the only reason her size was mentioned was because all the others had it on theirs- but i'll bear that in mind for any future discussions! darn her cuteness!
