The tiny babies happen enough in a normal breeding program. Talk to someone who has had a premature human child and all the problems they go through. Many of the tiny yorkie babies are just like that human child. The smaller they are the more health problems they can have, shorter life expectancy, immune problems and on and on. Are they more expensive? Yes sometimes due to the amount of extra time, money and care the breeder has put into raising them.
No thank you I would rather stick a watermelon up my nose then to try and just breed for the little ones.
