I went into the shop and fell in love with all the puppies unfortunately my mom would only let me take one home. I chose a brindle chihuahua who I was told was supposed to be "teacup"/toy breed. I was also told that the dog would grow not much bigger than he already was.
I am very satisfied with my puppy of choice as I have grown attached to him, however, I am very dissatisfied with the fact that I was lied to about the size the dog would be. I know there is no real teacup size breed however there is such thing as a toy breed and my dog isn't even that. He has grown to be much bigger than ever expected. I am also dissatisfied in the manor in which I was treated when I went back into the shop to inform him that my dog had grown grossly larger. The response I received from him was that I didn't pay teacup price. On top of this I have been told by many breeders with much more experience that he looks nothing like a purebred chihuahua and more so like a mini pin. Which leaves me very skeptical.
I have since purchased an actual "teacup" puppy for much less than I bought the other dog. He is 2 lbs full grown and only cost me $400 vs. What I over paid for an 11 lb dog.
It makes me wonder that this seller has had to change locations and shop names. Maybe because of the numerous reports on his actions and methods of selling the puppies he owns. I think he should rethink his selling practices and go with a more honest approach before he does end up with major lawsuits on his hand.
