I would look more at the parents size than trying to find a "runt" that might be unhealthy. If I were you, I'd look in the 4 pounds or under range. Some suggestions are to look at the price, a $300-$500 range online for a teacup is most likely a sign that it's not legit. It'll be much more closer to the $1,000+ range.

When I bought Lola the ad actually said she'd prefer not to ship but would consider it. I found a site that was reputable for shipping and e-mailed her the info. I think it's a partnership when buying a puppy. When you contact someone they should give you lots of information about the puppy and even their phone number. Good luck in your search!
That is pretty darn tiny, and it's unethical to breed to such a small female. I personally would NEVER buy from any breeder who would breed a bitch under 5lbs.
To the Original poster, good luck in your search and welcome to YT.
