Not to mention most toy breeds are notoriously hard to housetrain.
I can definitely testify to that. My Shih tzu X wasn't too bad, but I've been working on my Maltese/Chihuahua X since I adopted her at 8 months (she's now over 12 months). She was also taken from her mom and littermates too soon (the joys of puppy mills) and was abused. I still can't leave her alone at all without her having an accident.

I look it up and it's illegal in Ohio to sell a dog under eight weeks.

From http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/stusohst955.htm:
Quote:
§ 955.50 Dogs; regulations re sale; receipt; transportation.

(A) No person shall sell, offer to sell, or expose for sale, for the purpose of resale or receive for delivery within this state, or ship from any point within this state to any point outside this state, for sale to the general public at retail, any dog under the age of eight weeks.
This person really needs to be reported.
