She was a huge amount of work to keep alive her first 4 weeks, and she'll be staying with me longer to get sufficient size and maturity so that I'm confident of her good health before she leaves. I'm very grateful for the premium price some clients are willing to pay for the novelty of this tiny Yorkie.
I dont agree with you at all. I can see a small amount being charged for extra care but not a larger amount. Also I am convinced breeders cant tell for certain when one is going to be a tiny. For example I have one that at 8 weeks was 12 ozs but she grew to 6 lbs in adulthood
