It wasn't an intentional breeding and Gidget was the only pup she ever had.

I paid $150 for Gidget (almost 16 years ago) and she was AKC registered. I hate to think what one that size would go for today.
Many ethical breeders occasionally get tinies even if they are not breeding for them, and don't sell them for any more than they do their other dogs. Placement is more important, because the tinies do have special needs.
