I think it's normal and not unusual to charge more for a smaller yorkie. It's supply and demand. More people who are looking at yorkies prefer the smaller ones over the bigger ones. That's just the way it is.
So having said that, you can expect to pay more for a smaller one, but that should not be your only consideration. You also need to consider the type of breeder you are buying from. Do they care about their animals, are they taken care of. Are their puppies healthy and what kind of health guarantee will you be getting. Is the smaller puppy as healthy as the bigger ones? Is the smaller one just an incident of birth or is the breeder purposely breeding for tinies, risking the "mom's" health in doing so.
If all is copasetic, then by all means pay the extra price for the smaller yorkie. However, realize, that the puppy may start out smaller but end up weighing the same as an adult as his/her siblings that started out bigger. |
