I agree!!! If my Chachi would end up a seven pound healthy dog I would be happy. I also purchased from a breeder who had grand champion lineage. The puppies I have purchased from her are small. I also bought Chachi's sister she is 1/2 pound the size of a hamster. She is still with the breeder because she now has hypoglycemia. When you purchase dogs that are smaller than the standard you could be taking on a dog with health problems and you just have to realize that is what you are taking on. What is sad is that there are people searching for a babydoll face(I have yet to see a Yorkie that doesn't have a babydoll face) teacup yorkie and are desperate to purchase one. I know I was one of them. They are never told that these are just small Yorkies (all Yorkies are tiny it's a toy breed) and they can have alot of potential health problems.
