Wow. I mean . . . wow. There are people who spend inordinate amounts of time on Craigslist flagging posts that are from BYBs selling puppies that would have a nervous breakdown if they saw this. It's so sad, because (and maybe I'm just being naive about breeding) it seems that any reputable breeder is going to be breeding for temperament, conformation, and health and is going to have references and/or a waiting list or something, but most of these animals seem to be bred just for show (by that I mean fashion accessory or novelty) and money, at least the ones in my area, bred for smallness. Completely sad, especially the "teacup" everything (do they care it's illegal to sell animals under 8 weeks?) and the pitbulls being bred when thousands are dying in our shelters every year.
