|  OMG! I don't know what to do... I answered an ad in the paper for a 1 yr, 2 lb female. After talking with the lady (very nice lady), she told me there may be a problem. Apparently, she's a hobby, or byb. She said she had all her little ones, male & female in an expen together and did not realize the little female was in heat!  This happened after she put the ad in the paper, so maybe within the last week. Her vet said an abort shot might be dangerous.....hello! Like a pg 2 lb female wouldn't be?! Anyway, I know nothing about breeding...didn't know there was an abortion shot.....please any advice here? I'm so upset I'm shaking from my conversation with her. I'm going to call back this afternoon after she talks to the vet again today. How soon can they tell if she is pregnant? and if she's not, is 2 lb safe to spay? Oh, and btw, the reason she's selling her is because "she's too small to breed"!!!

| WOW!!! How frustrating!!!!!!!!!!! She needs to be spayed ASAP!!! Yes, it may be a little risky because she is so small, but its even more risky for her to carry a litter. How irresponsible on that BYBders part. IMO

| Some vets won't use the abortion shot because it can be risky. Spaying may be a better option. A two pound female can be spayed but doing it to a two pound pregnant female will carry more risk. It's just a bad situation...

|  If you get her have her spayed ASAP. The surgery is easier on a 2 lb.er than the abortion shot. This woman is beyond irresponsible...Putting males and females in the same ex-pen!! I hope you do get her just to get her away from this woman. I will keep my fingers crossed for you both...Good-Luck...   Post pics of the little one when you get her!!

| Question about the abortion shot......how soon after the dogs tie can she get it? I mean, I might consider her if after the shot she's ok, but, what if she's too pg?  I don't know if I could handle it if I get her pg and something awful happens to her.

| I've never heard of an abortion shot. I would definitely get her spayed if you get her. They can abort the puppies at the same time. Poor baby...It's so sad, that lady needs to stop breeding...she doesn't know what she's doing!

| Oh my! She is GORGEOUS, and the spitting image of my 2 pound baby girl. (Well, mine is 2.14) I do have a breeder friend (BYB) who claims she bred a 2 pounder before, but it was to a male who was even smaller and he was a true tiny, from generations of tinies.. I don't know if that matters, as I know nothing about breeding, but could you find out the size of the males who were in the ex pen with her? Maybe it would be less dangerous if they were all tiny. |

| I don't think she knows which of her males got to her, but she said she had all the tiny ones, 2 - 3 lbs, together so they wouldn't get hurt or under foot.

Sure wish there was a legal way to torture that woman to the same degree as this tiny 2 lb baby will be . My goodness how many of you have gotten your puppies and they were almost that big - can you even imagine breeding one that tiny - and any responsible person would have had her isolated or spayed to prevent the possibility -- and i hope no one considers her a breeder - just a IGNORANT dog owner . ok I've vented

| Oh she is very pretty. You should get her and haveher spayed. If the lady keeps her is she going to allow her to keep the puppies? |

| What a beautiful little girl! Is she 100% sure they tied? Why would she put a girl in especially in heat? UGH.. what a mess!

| No, I just spoke with her. She's waiting for a call back from the vet to set up a spay date. After that, I'm going to keep in touch and hope things work out for me. See my post in the breeders section for more info on conditions at her house.
