Its very true that people are willing to pay for the tiny ones. Working with a rescue group(non-specific breeds) I would sometimes take my 2 1/4 lb babies with me. While one of the volunteers was walking them for me a woman followed her in and offered 2000 apiece. Obviously my babies are not for sale. She was quite certain that she wanted my babies when we had a 5 lb yorkie for adoption. She was willing to pay 2000 for mine yet thought 300 was too much for the adoption fee of a 5 lb yorkie, although with our screening methods it would have been very doubtful of her getting him, or for that matter any of our dogs. |
