Hope for the best for little Hugo. Peanut has gone to a home with a non lyn member. Hope he's doing well and not peeing everywhere.

Do post pics ya. It was a little discouraging with the little ex Hugo, hope this one would stick and not on impulse.

Did you view the parents?

Oh ok. Best wishes to little Hugo.

If the dog is underweight and it's a growing puppy, the owner is probably under-feeding it. I'm not sure where this idea came from, but probably from those stupid pet stores, they say that you need to feed it very little to maintain it's size. Some dogs are only fed a teaspoon or tablespoon per meal once or twice a day. This is just very dumb and cruel. Some petstores also do that to make the dog stunted, so they can sell it as 'Teacup'.

No, they're not bio engineered. Sometimes, in a litter of puppies, there will be a runt. A runt is usually the youngest and/or weakest, and would probably be stunted if not enough care and nutrition is given. These runts, would be sold as 'mini' or 'teacup' because they are usually smaller than their siblings, or used in breeding in effort to produce more puppies to be that size. This kind of breeding can work, but it takes a lot of time, generation after generation, patience, and also, the dog may develop lots of genetic problems as it also requires inbreeding to preserve the gene.

People don't want to take this way as it's time consuming and costs too much, so they underfeed the dogs so they can be 'mini' or 'teacup'. It's just unethical and stupid.

Dote's a she. She's about 5+ months now.

Ooo, that one's quite cute.

Why are you so hard-up to buy from her? Earlier she didn't accept your deposit and the way she poses the seriously young puppies is not exactly very good, putting two puppies of different breeds and from different litters together to take a picture, ignoring that germs and diseases could've passed between such young and vulnerable puppies.

Why not just reserve from Yang?

Shouldn't you move there first and clean up to prepare for your maltese? It's more stressful if you only move when you collect the dog. Everything should be already prepare and you living there already because if you clean up right before you move in or the moment you move in, everything will smell new and the puppy may take longer to adjust itself. Once you've moved there and gotten used to living there, you would already have a routine and you and your child's smell would be around most of the areas. This would be easier for the pup to adapt itself and less stressful.
