Some good advice has been given about tinies.

Health issues can be found in small and standard size yorkies. They key as stated, is knowing your breeder and familiarizing yourself with their lines and breeding practices.

Tinies do not always have health issues, but statistics show on the average most do. They do require more care in how they are raised, after all they are small and prone to injury because of the small stature.

Reputable breeders do not breed for tinies, but on occassion do produce them, but they are not sold, they are placed in preapproved homes that are familiar with the care and raising of a wee one. The breeder as well as the prospective new families are well aware of the possible medical issues and the cost of vet care that maybe incurred. A reputable breeder does not want to sell heartache.
