Also, if she didn't want the extra expense of a "tiny" then she should have never bred two very small dogs together... you will generally not see a reputable breeder breed a female under 5lbs.

as for the other, ie: the more you pay for the dog the more abe you are to care for it... I have to totally disagree with you.... there is no financial limit to love- how many people here (who have paid normal prices for a pup) have opted to put them to sleep because of high vet bills?? none that I have read... I have however seen auctions to raise money to help pay for expensive vet bills, and many people chip in to help... I have seen people get loans, go without for themselves ect to pay for vet bills.... love has no price limit.

I will not compare a house, car or any "unliving" object to a pup... because they are two different things.... I have read thousands of times how these pups are like children to many here- (myself included) and that my friend, is priceless.

I think it is offensive to say only people willing to pay over 8grand for a pup, are able to care for it.... I think you are wrong, and are hurting many peoples feelings.

I know for me, I would rather help someone who needs it, then pay 8500 for a pup who has a medical problem already... and fatten a persons account because they are taking advantage of a poor pup.
