I am so glad you posted that, b/c so many people lately don't believe me when I tell them there really isn't such a thing as a teacup. I just learned that this year though, probably from the book "chihuahuas for dummies". One breeder also told me that the puppy size is determined from the father's size. The smaller the dad the smaller the pups, but even that doesn't always hold true. One thing about the small small chis I have heard, is they don't live as long and have more defects and aren't nearly as healthy. Anyone else hear that too?
well, thank you for sharing that, I didn't have the guts to.
