 That is AWFUL!  Like above, find a breeder and get the smallest pup in the liter.  That is what I did, and I paid $800. for her.  She was 1#9oz. at  4 months.  She is weighing around 3# now.  Do not pay that much for a pup!  I repeat-----DON"T Pay That Much!  You are being ripped off!  I personally would not buy a  pup unless I could see the place he is coming from and see how clean, etc, it is and what the breeder is like.  Also, you should pick out your own pup.   When you go to a breeder's, it just seems there is always one that seems to pick you!    There have been some awful stories on here about buying on the net, and never getting the puppy and just getting the run around.  It is very hard to recoup your losses in these cases.  Search on this forum, and you will find stories that will make your hair stand on end!  
 
   Good Luck!   Pat
