I may just being too sensitive but...
I finally got up the courage to e-mail some breeders and tell them exactly what I'm looking for. I want a 3lb male with a baby doll head, short snout, and big eyes. :blush:
I expected some of the breeders to say, "Well, sometimes there's a runt in the litter. I'll let you know if one comes up that fits your description." but I keep getting emails telling me all about the AKC standard, which I'm well aware, that the maltese should be around 4-7 lbs. That's all they're telling me.
and it comes across a bit snippy...
I know 3lb maltese exist... and so do 10lb maltese. :blink: The standard isn't ALWAYS met...
so am I doing something wrong in asking if they have small puppies? I feel as if they're responding as if I offended them by even asking..
Is it offensive to tell them exactly what I'm looking for?
Thanks in advance!
