I take exception to the belief that tinies have more health problems than any other Yorkie of any size. For the last 30 years I have had nothing but 2 ½ to 3 ½ pound yorkies and all have been healthy. I understand the concern we all have with Breeding these tiny ones as it could kill them, however they are no less healthy but only much more fragile and vulnerable.
