If you have a dog that only weighs 2 pounds, you have no weight to work with. I have had several very small dogs over the years and I can tell you first hand, every thing matters with them, tempertare changes can stress them and they crash fast when they crash.
I am on edge anytime I have a small one.
Dosing medicine for a very small dog is no fun and I have even heard vets saying, well you realize the medicine could kill one this size.
I placed one at 6 months, I hadn't even thought of selling her, then someone saw her, and they asked me if she was for sale, I said no. They said WHY?
I said plain as day because I don't know from one day to the next if she will be alive or not.
I did place her with them because they were very experienced and show Yorkies, they just loved the little ones as pets.
She was spayed and it took 18 hours for her to come out of it. They thought she may not make it.
So people need to remember all of this when considering breeding for this size and when wanting to buy this size.

Your post just reminded me that I've wouldn't want one that was so small I would be afraid to put them under for surgeries. I want to be able to spay/neuter my pets. I wouldn't know what to do if I had one that was only 2lbs full grown...I'd be afraid to put them under - but not only for a spay...teeth would probably need to be pulled & other surgeries might be needed one day.
