This is a very common misconception, but the answer is no. They are, however, equivalent to newborn babies and require a lot more care and attention than your average sized puppy. Because of their tiny size and delicate nature, their immune systems can be compromised, so you need to be a little more careful in what they come into contact with and how they are handled. As they get older, their immune systems grow stronger and they are just as healthy as any other dog. All our puppies must pass a physical from our certified vet and also CIFA government vet before they are shipped to their new homes.
Yes. They are living animals and not a toy. Although we estimate the size and weight of the puppies, it is by no means a guarantee. The way we estimate is based on the parents and the grandparents of the given puppy along with the current size and because of this, the puppy may end up smaller or bigger than what we estimated them to be in a few inches that you wont easily notice. Diet will also affect the size and weight of the dog as in overfeeding the dog to be overweight.
Our puppies vary in age, but must be at least 3 months old before arriving in our care. Most puppies are ready to go after being checked by a veterinarian, but sometimes the tiny ones must stay a bit longer, so they don’t stress and we can make sure they develop proper eating habits and develop social skills for their new families.
Each puppy is priced based on the price we get from our breeders. Each puppy is priced based on breed, size, quality, gender, body structure. There are many factors and that is why there is a big difference in pricing from puppy to puppy. Our puppies do start at $1500 and up. This does not include shipping/nanny fee. Price for shipping is based on your location.
It is merely a term we use to describe the size of a dog that is smaller than average. Most of our puppies range from 1.5 pounds to 3 pounds.
The average life span is actually 10 to 14 years for a teacup or toy sized dog–actually longer than larger breeds of dogs! Generally speaking, it really depends on how you take care of the puppy. Our puppies do not come from a puppy mills/farms. All our puppies come from reputable breeders who specialize in each breed. Inbreeding or puppies from puppy mills/farms affects the quality of life and causes shorter lifespan of a puppy due to their environment and heredity. Our puppies are expected to live as long as other dogs in the same breed does.
We work with a select group of licensed breeders in United State and cannada. Our breeders have a consistent record of providing healthy and extremely smaller than average puppies. We screen out any breeders that don’t meet our quality of standards. We do not work with puppy mills.
