>From what I can see these puppies are not all that much smaller--or I should say shorter--than their *normal* counterparts--they just seem to be bred with very little substance and bone--hence weigh less--in most cases. Just that alone can't be a good thing.
Again with the registries shown, the breeding stock must have come from puppy mill type breeders. Puppy mill type breeders nearly always have very poor quality dogs from other puppy mill type breeders as no reputable breeder would ever knowingly sell a puppy for breeding to a puppy mill type situation. Regardless the breeders of their puppies are now breeding for the commercial market and in effect are puppy millers themselves--whether they want to admit it or not. Even if they are brought up in the middle of a family in a half a million dollar home--these puppies are being *milled* purely for the commercial market with no thought as to showing, improving quality or performance, and they are therefore puppy millers. Of course there is no mention of the health concerns of each breed, the type of testing done to ensure healthy puppies or anything along that line. Just another type of broker selling puppies from mills, but trying to fraud unsuspecting buyers into believing their puppies are better than those than a pet shop. Yeah right!
