I have seen any studies to suggest that tiny yorkies (under 4 lbs) are any more susceptible to health problems than bigger yorkies. I think Yorkie Rose is accurate to say that the tinies are possible more susceptible to injury if they are not guarded carefully. They are tiny so they can get stepped on, be dropped or have a door slam on them which are all things that will harm a small dog such as a tiny yorkie.

I think the rumor that "all tinies" are fragile and timid and in ill health is a myth. I have 4 of them and they are all BIG DOGS in attitude and very healthy!
