yes i just got a Pom into rescue, breeder lied about age to make buyer think the dog would be smaller, dog is six months and according to breeder she is 4 months should have pup examined by vet runt of litter may be premature by as much as a week so may get larger and breeder may not know this, think reason some breeders let pups go too young is also to make like they are going to be super small some dog books have charts of teeth development which could help with age estimate
