I am not a breeder but I have 2 furbutts that are about 3 lbs full grown. I can say that the breeders usually charge more for the smaller pups because they take so much more time and energy to get them to the point where they can go home to a new family. They have to be watched 24/7 and fed up to 5 times a day up until they are 4-5 months old. They are more prone to injury so they sometimes have to be taken away from their littermates. When I got my 2, they still had night feedings that I had to get up for. So, I understood that the breeder had to spend extra time and attention with my pup and that was what I was paying for. |
