Any GOOD breeder would not sell a tiny at these prices, they would be given to people who know how to deal with under sized dogs and know how to deal with any health problems they might face.
Breeding any dog under 5lbs is cruel, the dog will struggle to carry these pups and the dog itself AND the pups could well die.
Now you tell me what is good about that?
And no I dont look at the website and think "OMG - how adorable" I look at the website and think "how sad that greedy people will put these poor animals through hell all for the sake of money" |
That's the problem Rachel, most buyers DON'T research the breed before buying. What they see is a cute face and a purse accessory and they go for it. They don't end up on a place like YT until they have the dog and trouble ensues.
We know a GOOD breeder wouldn't do this, but unfortunately there appears to be a lot more bad ones than good out there. There's always someone ready to take your money if you are dumb enough to hand it over.
