[quote=PrestigeousYT;2212409]It is not only Cruel its Insane to think its OK to do this to a dog!

I had a 2 lb Chihuahua named Minnie Mouse and people always asked us if we were going to breed her, my answer was why would i want to KILL HER?
Then they understood that yes that is a very likely outcome!
I just don't understand why someone would breed these little sized girls.
There is always a risk when a dog is bred that something may not go right, but then to breed girls that are too small increasing the risks.

My first Yorkie Gidget was only 2 lbs and she was the result of an accidental breeding. Her Mama almost died giving birth, so when the lady sold Gidget to me she said she would send me the registration and paperwork after I showed her proof that Gidget had been spayed. I don't know if it was because she was so tiny, but Gidget had a soft spot on her head that was large and it never closed. I spent almost 15 years worrying about that!

When my Abby (my current Yorkie) hit 4 lbs. I jumped for joy!
