I don't really want to promote this anymore than it already has been, but I know everyone here knows about hydro, and the dangers, health risks and concerns that come with having a tiny dog. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2126167/Take-bow-wow-Milly-Chihuahua-Micro-mutt-fits-palm-hand-weighs-banana-set-crowned-Worlds-smallest-dog.html?ito=feeds-newsxmlVery, very sad. The fact that her owner has put her forward to go into the Guiness Book of World Records, is quite frankly shameful. She is basically proud of the size of the dog, even though it is quite clearly incredibly ill. I'm sure this will just encourage more idiots to join the Teacup crew. I guess its typical of The Daily Mail, but if I were the author of the article, I'd at the very least contact a vet for their thoughts and put some sort of warning there. Clearly, they don't care and aren't responsible enough to do that though

This was posted in the exhibitor group the otherday and a lot of people were saying that just because it has a big head doesn't make it hydro. Hope this dog grows to be 8lbs

Its 3 months old and hasn't grown in height since it was 3 weeks old. Thats not normal. Obviously it can't be confirmed without tests but the size of its head and those eyes scream hydro to me. It just looks ill Without sounding harsh, I think sometimes mother nature tells us when somethings not meant to be. The fact that she could not breast feed because her mouth was too small says a lot. Maybe she isn't in pain and does have a happy life, I don't know. I could always be wrong and I really hope I am. I just really do not think dogs this size should be promoted so much because all that happens is people want a teeny tiny dog and BYB and puppy farms make even more money.
