Regina O'Rourke of Patterson NY filed a lawsuit against the Upper East Side pet store alleging her 'teacup' Maltese had been guaranteed to weigh less than 5 pounds. The little dog suffered from a congenital knee condition and reached maturity at 8 pounds. O'Rourke paid $2,500 for her teacup Maltese and was awarded a $1000 rebate to make the difference of a standard Maltese. (May-09-05)

However, we intended on breeding our puppy with our other puppy when they reached the appropriate age as we are dog lovers and want a full family of boxers. The dog we bought is completely unbreedable and has many hereditary and congenital problems. He was hospitalized within the first week of adopting him--diagnosed with pneumonia, contracted worms, and a hereditary mange problem. He is going to require surgery in the next few months to recover his testicles that are inside his abdomen somewhere.
We are very upset that we cannot breed him, but we are very attached to him as well, and do not choose to give him back to the petstore, as they will euthanize him.
