Sorry to hear that, those two in your avatar picture are precious!
I guess I just hate to see breeders catering to people who want pets as fashion accessories and status symbols. I cringe every time someone posts a thread about wanting a tea-cup to fit in her purse. These are living breathing creatures that have intelligence and sensitivities. Breeders who purposely breed and market these puppies are extremely unethical. Yorkies under 4 pounds have been shown to have many more health risks and dental problems. Doesn't anyone, besides me, worry about breeders who are in this for the money doing such things as limiting the mother's food, and or puppy's food to artificially produce tinier puppies?
Breeding is a lot of hard work, but I think it's similar to the ministry; you need to have a calling to do it.
