I'm curious why the YTCA doesn't change their standard to reflect their code of Ethics with regard to small yorkies.
More importantly, I'd like to hear from owners who have Yorkies under 5 pounds. Have you experienced the increased problems? If you had it to do over gain, would you repeat the decision and get a smaller Yorkie.
I hope I can get honest answers. I worry that some small yorkie lovers will decline to post because they fear suffering attacks from folks who condemn the breeding/purchasing/selling of small yorkies. Even if your reluctant to post here, a PM would be appreciated and i'll keep your comments private. |
