I've always held the opinion that good breeders should charge a bit more for the tinies, not bc they might be in demand; but because true tinies/runts require SO much extra TLC from the breeder...and I'm happy to pay a little extra for all the care they've given these little ones. That's not to say I support a breeder who says "Have tinies, teacups! $5000!" -- totally different situation.
I got Marcel from a show breeder, and he was the runt of his litter - he was very small, and I'm sure incredibly vulnerable. My breeder kept him until he was 4mths old, bc that's the earliest she'd allow it...and I really respect this. Marcel is an absolute doll, both in looks and personality
