this was the entire point of my posting this thread
is the runt worth more than any other litter mate?? NO! does it have any more health risks?? not normally!!!
does it cost a breeder more to rear a litter from a 3 lb bitch than a 5.5lb bitch???? NO! not usually!
then why do some breeders charge more for their tinies??? because the consumer will pay it plain and simple!
Is a breeder unethical when he/she capitalizes on the "runt" and raises thats runts price three times the rest of the litters pricing?? The average litter mate sells for $1000 but the runt is priced at $4000 is that fair practice or capitalizing???
