These puppies are being sold to young to people that have no ideal in what it takes to maintain the health of not only yorkies but any puppy. I am a owner of 3 small dogs soon to be 4. 2 Chi Chi's (I got mine when taco bell dog got popular) and 2 yorkies. I take my dogs where ever I go/ or can take them and I hate when people just pet my dogs too! I did my research on chi chi's and yorkies before I got one. These young people need to do the same instead of just jumping in and buying one because it's the "in" thing.

I think I was caught in the moment and said this the wrong way.

I was trying to say that young people look up to stars they see in movies or a music video and want to do what they see. Not saying that the star or who ever is not taking care of thier pup. These young people are seeing how cute the little pups are and they want one. I know some young people that have small puppies and they don't have a clue on what it takes to care for them. But if you ask them why did they get a puppy that small the reply is " I saw Lil Kim's video and she had one and I thought I would look cute." Now remember these are teens I know and I'm not saying all teens are this way just a few "I know". I just would like them to do their research 1st before making a comment they might not be ready to take on and to get a puppy for all the right reasons and not because they seen someone in a video and thought they would look cute. I hope I said this right and if I stepped on toes I am sorry that was not my plan.
