I'm a breeder. I wouldn't impose pressure on a person to make a depost on the smallest baby of even 1 3/4 oz. There could be health issues as are on another string here, where the tiniest of the babies is at the Vets office inorder to survive. This is what the VET told the owner of her tiny baby.
[COLOR="Magenta"][B][COLOR="magenta"][COLOR="magenta"][COLOR="magenta"]She said that we can continue with the medication and when he gets older he should be neutered. He can either continue with the medication and live a normal healthy life span or he can have the surgery to have his liver shunt corrected. I don't know what I am going to do in the long run. I can't keep the little guy no matter how much I want too. Is it okay to sell a little sick guy?
This is what this thread is about! I'm trying to help her with her confusion of being pressed for a decison of making a deposit on the TINY PUPPY.

There could be many health issues with a tiny baby such as the TINY baby of this litter. You never sell a sick puppy! I wouldn't have offered up 3 day old puppies for a choice of deposit. I am not a person of Greed. I respect people wanting a Healty baby. After all there are many people out there that get sick puppies at the airport, and they die within weeks after they get to their owners. They won't get a sick puppy from me.

Okay, whatever. You said "okay ladies" as to yell at us to stop arguing and get back on point. That's why I said I don't argue. I was just stating facts. That woman came in to say what she had to say to support her website. That's the reason she's here. And just like someone else said, we saw through that. Okay, I'm done.

I think it's fine to put a deposit on the puppy now as long as there is a written receipt or contract stating that you'll get the deposit back if the puppy dies or develops some type of health problem before leaving the breeder. Most breeder will refund the deposit or replace the puppy if something happens to the original one while in their care. Being that much smaller than the rest of the litter though - be prepared that something might happen to him. I know someone who had a litter a year ago - 2 girls and one boy. One of the little girls was so much smaller than the other two and stayed a lot smaller. She never opened her eyes and needed special care and had to be bottle fed in between feedings from the mother. At three weeks she passed away. She was just too small and something was wrong with her. So just be prepared that something can happen and make sure the breeder has a policy to refund your deposit if it does. I hope everything goes well

In my opinion I would not put a deposit on a puppy that was that tiny and that young. I would wait until the puppy has had it's first vet visit so you know whether it is even healthy or not. Also, you dont even know what this puppy is going to look like. It you are paying that kind of money, I would wait until you get a better idea of what the puppy is going to look like, it's health and its temprement to make sure it is the right puppy for you. Dont let the breeder try to make you rush into any decisions. It you dont get that puppy, there are many more to choose from and it wasnt meant to be. I dont think I would trust a breeder that took a deposit on a puppy that weighs not even 2 oz. It is too iffy. Take your time and make the decision that feels right. If there are red flags and you have to ask if you are doing the right thing and you are unsure, then it might not be the right decision after all.
