I know how hard it is not to want to help this puppy, but you may be buying heartache and huge vet bills. My Lady is a poorly bred rescue and her meds alone cost $250 a month. I spend over $3,000 just on her meds and vet bills to monitor her conditions. We usually have at least one close call per year which runs close to $1,000 on top of that.
Since you have other dogs, you really need to think "worse case scenario" when you consider the financial impact buying her could have on the dogs you have now. I'd be especially worried since this puppy is so small.
Personally, I would not support this puppy mill, byb or whatever she is. That's how these people stay in business. As the other poster said, if her dogs are truly AKC registered, report her to the AKC. By doing so, you are part of the solution, not part of the problem.
