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!!!  |
...Let me get my glasses.....and try and understand your logic here:
1. Are you actually comparing the breeding of two ENTIRELY different genus
within the animal kingdom? Mice?
2. Where did you read in any of those "negative" threads"...that their opposition was due to "showing potential"?. All I see is the HEALTH CONCERNS of the damn and puppies... AND the potential financial and emotional repercussions of buying a pup from a breeder A. who endangers her damn by breeding an undersized female and B. allows these "teacup" puppies to leave her home at 10 weeks, when the accepted time would be closer to 12 - 16 due to the very nature of their health concerns.
3. What "proof" do you actually need in regards to the health problems of "tinies"? A "Government Sponsored Study"? Let's disregard the 30 odd years of experience these breeders have had ...All you have to do...if you REALLY want to know...is talk to the vets.
Why must we always error on the side of "pleasantry" when serious questions are being raised here? And on top of that..I find it puzzling that this comes from someone who is an "adamant proponent of "Quality Puppy Care" when choosing a "Good Breeder"!
The only "Rudeness" going on in this thread was the inaccurate labeling of sincere and concerned Breeders and Owners. Apologies are in order if you ask me.
