If you read my earlier post this is exactly what happened when I came across a teeny tiny like that. The breeder was indeed offered $10,000 but declined the offer and sold it for less to a friend who she knew becuase he had two other yorkies she sold him. I think this is what most breeeders would do. There are far less scammers out there than people realize I imo and we are almost all smart enough not to be scammed. |
I'm so glad you brought up the issue about how wonderful the tinies can be for disabled people. Even a 6 pounder can be too much weight to pick up or have on your lap. I don't have the ambition, but I wish someone would open a thread on the topic. It's a good one. We had a puppy that matured to 3 pounds in our last litter and when her owner took her to the vet, she was given a big lecture about how unethical it is to breed them this small. I got so defensive. I think you said earlier that about 20% of them are tinies. We don't have enough experience to know if this is true, but I know when you breed for a 5-1/2 to 6-pound adult, it happens. Same breeding produced a 7 pound male.
