| Poll:Is Breeding a 3 lb and under dog considered cruel? I was wondering what everyone really thought. I think some people don't want to post their opinion because they don't feel like getting into an arguement. Your votes WILL NOT be public! |

| Yes. As time wears on, I start to feel more and more sorry for all momma dogs --regardless of their size.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I am sooooo against it Extra Small dogs have enough to deal with due to their size - I think it's cruel to breed tinies. |

| I think it is very unsafe for the mom and the puppies. There isnt enough room in the womb for the pups and they are crushed together.

I started this thread to spread awareness on the subject. I want to let everyone who is looking for a yorkie know to look for a mother 4 lbs+. I would not want my money to finance such a breeding program. If someone says the mother is smaller than that (I have even seen people breed 2 lb dogs) then I suggest finding someone who has the dog's best intrests in mind. Thank you for your post and vote! | |

We probably don't even hear all the horror stories about tiny females being bred because most of those breeders who actually do this know it's WRONG... . | |

| I think that the beauty of the Yorkshire Terrier breed is the fact that they are small, but not as small as Guinea Pigs. The spunkiness and size of a 4-7lb dog is what appeals to me. I am not interested in a dog any smaller. Of course there are going to be puppies who end up being smaller than standard - they are adorable and I love them just the same - the same goes for the ones who end up at 10 or even 15lbs. What I don't agree with is breeding down the breed so that pretty soon, a normal Yorkie is going to be 3lbs or less. I respect breeders who want standard sized dogs and strive to produce them.

| Here's one i RESCUED from that destiny 3lber I have no idea how a tiny little 3lber can birth and raise healthy pups? I have a litter out of a 5.5lbs female and a 3.10oz male she was only in labor 1 hour and delivered a puppy every 8 minutes. WOW i was very lucky but it was soooooooooooooo frighting wondering if she would be ok or have enough milk. She went into labor on day 59 I have given bottles daily just to helo them get enough nutrition and give her boobies a rest. I would be a paranoid mom if i breed a 3lber. I just can't imagine that being healthy. I must admit i have no experence with breeding tinies, so i guess i can only give my best Opinion. I WOULDN'T DO IT WHAT WOULD BE THE REASON TO BREED SO SMALL? See this girl, she is on my website under RESCUE and i explain how her health was when she came to me from a fate of breeding to early and too small. I JUST DON'T GET IT. |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Yes! Its cruel and mean! I think Yorkies are plenty small enough, and you can get them smaller without breeding little tiny dogs. Why on earth do you have to risk the life and health of a tiny little female just to get more money?
