years ago the tiny one of the litter was called a runt and no one wanted them so they were priced cheaper but with brainless famous people strutting about with them these days have made people want them more than normal sized ones so the price of them have gone up.
its such a shame that there are less people these days that dont just buy a dog cos they want to give it a home and love it with all there heart and dont care if its tiny big or got 3 legs and one eye.
i love mine cos they love me, tye has 3 teeth and a wire coat, zac is slow and cant learn things properly with a wolly coat, and brandi was a rescue who was found on the streets and maybe she was chucked out cos shes a big girl and not breed standard so her pups wouldnt of made as much money but i dont care cos they love me with all my faults and i love them with theres.  |
Here, here! It does all come down to supply and demand. As a breeder I can testify that you can't guarantee the size of the pup at adulthood. Like humans they all have their individual growth rates. I have a 6 month old bitch who weighs 3.5 lbs at present that I am just praying will have a growth spurt. Her mother was a late bloomer and I'm hoping she will follow suit or I'll have to rehome her. I've done the unprofessional and have gotten way to attached to her already. She's gotten knocked off of the couch by the other dogs and hurt, she can't play with the others and is always on the sidelines. I have to watch for her cause she's at my feet constantly and is liable to get stepped on. I even have to help her on and off of the deck. I don't know why anyone would want a dog that can't jump up on the couch by itself but that's just me. I sell all my babies at the same price unless they have an obvious fault. I have one that was 3 lbs. at 12 weeks but grew up to be only 4 lbs. so you just never know.
