I think that if this thread doesn't have a valid review of the breeder mentioned in the TITLE then it should be closed.

I just want to say though, that I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would breed for "tinies"...I have a litter of puppies now from a 6.5 lb mom and a 3.5 lb dad, and they are all going to end up 4 lbs and under. I'm having to feed them around the clock, I just had one sugar drop on me yesterday, and they just simply SCARE me, especially at this age. That is why I DO NOT breed for tinies. Sometimes they end up that way...and the people I sell them to I make sure they're prepared for having a tiny and I prefer that they have experience doing so...but I would NEVER purposely breed them that way!

I have 2 babies of my own (Ryder and Faith) that are 2.5 lbs almost full grown, and I wish every day that they would GROW! I'm constantly having to watch them, carry them down the stairs, make sure they eat a certain amount a day, keep them off the doggie steps and furniture, etc. etc. etc. I would take a 5-7 lb dog ANY day over a little tiny one. They are cute and adorable...but they are SO hard to keep healthy for the very reason that they are just TOO small! We all love Yorkies, that's why we're here...but can you honestly sit there and tell me that you'd rather have a 2.5 lb dog that you were constantly worried about than a 6.5 lb dog that you didn't have to? And yes, a 6.5 lb dog is still small enough to carry around in a purse, trust me, I do it.

And why in the world you would want to breed a poor girl that is 2 or 3 lbs is beyond me...it's just pitiful...
