Sugar's Mom~
Please don't pay any attention to the rude comments from some of the members...sometimes they are a little too forceful in asserting their opinion and it is hurtful, but the majority of the people here are so nice and welcoming and will love your baby. The rude ones are few and far between and even they are not ALWAYS rude.....only on certsin issues where they allow no controverting opinions.
Most of us have been programmed to believe that
all tinies (under 4 lbs as adults) have more health problems than 5-7 lb yorkies , but this has not been proven that I know of. The general accepted healthy weight for a bitch to bear puppies is 5 lbs, but I have always wondered why the smaller females couldn't breed as long as the male is small too. I mean there are lots of smaller animals that do very well having babies like rabbits and mice. Why would yorkies be so different? I must admit I have never researched it so I don't know.
Some also have a prejudice against
Tinies because they think they are somehow harming the breed since they are smaller than what wins in the show ring.
I for one would love to have you stay and allow us to enjoy your new baby vicariously as well as hear your stories as you explore the possibility of becoming a breeder. I think you are a great asset already. Please stay!!!
