I believe anyone who has raised Yorkie puppies knows the cost of breeding these very small puppies. Raising a litter of 'regular' sized yorkies is a big deal. Every time one gets a poop plug it could die. A person would have to be very dedicated to raise a litter of tinies on purpose. The mother would be at great risk as well as all the babies, probably just one at a time. I do not think anyone could do this to make money. It is a full time job just keeping them alive at that size. Unless you are a vet yourself and have a lot of these tiny dogs, it just doesn't seem profitable. I think my litter cost me at least $1000 to raise through puppy shots.
