#1) This "breeder" you are getting this baby from, is letting the baby go WAY to young.
#2) A respectable breeder would never sell such a tiny baby to anyone that has NO experience in raising a tiny. Your vet is correct, they CAN have a multitude of problems.
3) NO responsible breeder breeds a female that weigh 3 lbs. This person is deliberately breeding tiny dogs strictly because she can make a ton of money off them. You are certainly going to get a ton of opinions about what you are about to get suckered into.....but I am telling you not to touch this with a ten foot pole. You are setting yourself up for nothing but heartache and possibly a huge amount of vet bills. Let me say this....just because a puppy is tiny, does NOT mean it is automatically going to be a health disaster. But I think with your inexperience, you are not equipped to deal with this puppy. Tinys require soooooooooooo much more care and they are fragile...drop one or accidentally kick ne with your foot, and it is all over but the hole digging. And this lady is deliberately breeding tiny tiny females....cruel, simply cruel as well as unethical and irresponsible. |
