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. |
I agree...it is not easy and I think they deserve the money they ask for these extreme tinies because they need 24/7 care for several months. I looked at one when I was looking for Ava. She sold it for $8000 to a previous buyer who already had one of her tinies and she knew he would care for her and treat her like a princess. She had 5 people who wanted her at that price and one who offered $10,000 but she didn't take it..she sold it to the "friend" she knew for $2000 less!
