I agree with what everyone else said. I hope you have lots of money put away to spend on vet bills. Just because one other person happens to have a puppy from that breeder and it happens to be healthy so far....it doesn't mean it won't have issues that show up later...and it doesn't mean your pup will be healthy either. Sometimes, there's a health reason behind why a pup is so small....and if the parents are small because there's something wrong with them genetically, there's a good chance it's going to be passed to your pup.
Sorry, but no ethical breeder is going to think it's ok to breed a 3 lb female. Obviously, the people that are breeding either a.) have no idea what they are doing or b.)just don't care.
At least you know what you are getting into. Any dog can get sick, but the odds are a lot greater when you have a teeny tiny. They also tend to be more fragile...something a bigger dog may easily may handle, may be too much for a smaller pup's body. Larger sized yorkies don't always have the capacity to handle things bigger breeds can handle...with super tiny yorkies, it's even worse.
What worries me the most isn't that your pup will be tiny...it's that it's parents are tiny. If you were buying a pup from a breeder who bred a normal sized dog and it happened to throw a little one, that would be a totally different story...but to buy from someone who is breeding tiny dogs is a recipe for disaster and heartache down the road. |
