Paris’ amazing love
Just when you think you’ve heard it all, there’s Paris Hilton to bring us some fresh piece of head-scratching celebrity news. The 33-year-old starlet, who always has at least one little dog in tow, has a new man in her life, and I”m told he’s pretty amazing. Mr. Amazing, that is, a powder puff of a micro teacup Pomeranian, said to be worth a whopping $13,000! It’s so crazy, I have to say it again. $13,000! I mean, to us, our fur babies are priceless, but, really?
For that price, she’s not getting much. Mr. Amazing is tiny in stature, weighing in at an uber petite 10 ounces, with a back length of only 2.5 inches. The pup is four and a half months old and will only reach about two pounds, when fully grown (the AKC states Poms typically grow to between three and seven pounds).
While Mr. Amazing is a big name for such a little guy, it’s not his forever one, as per Hilton. If you’re so inclined, you can help Paris rename her little one on
Instagram, where she’s been proclaiming her love for the pup through really cute pics and videos.

Paris purchased Mr. Amazing from a Betty Pedram, based in Calgary, Alberta, who sells teacup Yorkies and other small breeds, advertising them on her Facebook page. For the record, I’m not a supporter of those who sell puppies, unless you’re a responsible breeder. According to the Calgary Sun newspaper, Pedram’s business arranges for puppies from South Korea to be shipped to new homes overseas, which could be a good thing if they were going to be dinner, let’s say, in Korea.
Uh, can you say muy adorbs?

I have to say, Mr. Amazing is pretty darn adorable. He seems to already have quite the personality, and I would recommend some of the videos I saw in
MTV.com‘s coverage of this story.
Mr. Amazing began traveling in style, even before he arrived in Hollywood. One of our own, fave designers,
Yvette Ruta, outfitted the little pup with some of her gorgeous couture and a beautiful, turquoise blanket for his journey.

I’m happy the little fella is going to be living the luxe life, and I hope it will be a good life for him, filled with fun, play, good care and lots of love. But I, too, have to wonder, as a fellow pet blogger did in a Google+ post, how many dogs could’ve been saved with $13,000? A fair number, I’d think.
What do you think about Paris paying the big bucks for her new pup? Is the fact that it’s coming from a country where, traditionally, they’ve eaten dogs, make it more ok? Would love your thoughts in the Comments below.

These tiny puppies are bred in horrendous PUPPY MILLS overseas. At birth, the deformed ones from so much inbreeding are discarded in garbage pails while still alive along with the ones born dead. The live ones or should I say, the ones who arrive alive are then sold by people like this Calgary *&^%$*&^ to unsuspecting people. Some Betty Pedram may keep and breed herself, knowing full well she is producing puppies that will never grow old as their Hereditary/Congenital Defects will kill them long before. The lady selling these extreme tiny pups is a Scam Artist selling them as healthy when genetically they are anything but healthy. They are Inbred with no care for the puppies sake or the sake of the parents living in misery, producing litter after litter where very few puppies come out alive to be sold to IDIOTS who just want to brag about how small of a dog they have. This woman who goes by more names than one needs to be stopped. She needs to be stopped for the sake of the puppies.
Yorkiesinheaven, thank you for sharing this. I will look into it more for sure. Appreciate the info on this person.
I read an article, not long ago, about Tinkerbell. She had supposedly ended up in a shelter, in California, very sad condition and very ill. The shelter upon discovering just who she was, contacted Hilton’s reps and was told Paris had given the dog away and felt no further responsibility. Hilton reportedly refused to any financial aid for medication or treatment. I hope this little guy is loved and taken good care of and isn’t just another piece of “arm candy”
Hi Margaret – Thanks for commenting. Where did you see that? In the research I did, the articles all said she gave Tinkerbell to her mom, Kathy Hilton, because she was jealous of the other dogs and would bite her smaller Chi, Bambi. Would love to know where you saw this as I like to check everything out. Thanks much!
I was wondering what happened to her Chihuahua? I hadn’t heard about the breeder rescuing dogs yet. But it’s nice to hear that her $13,000 dogs are paying for something good like that.
Hi Ann – I think she still has Tinkerbell, too. I agree. It’s very easy to judge about what she did when there are so many shelter pets needing homes. But if that money goes towards bringing dogs to a better life, it’s all the same in a way and that’s really the goal. Thanks for the comment. 🙂
