What does it take to be a YT featured breeder? I thought to be a featured breeder that there were certain requirements...it's disapointing to see a featured breeder purposely breeding for tinies. They are gorgeous babies, that's for sure. But I would never pay that much for a non-show quality puppy. I don't think it's right to charge so much for a dog just because it was bred to stay tiny. For anyone considering a tiny, you should read up on poor little Natalie's story. I think she was the tiniest yorkie on YT..at less than 1.5lbs at 6 months. She passed away on Christmas day...her mom once said that having Natalie was like taking care of a preemie baby 24/7. It's just not right or fair to these dogs to be purposely bred so teeny tiny...even if they are lucky enough to be healthy, there are so many risks for accidents.
