I did not mean to scare anyone...tinies can be very,very healthy..it is the person who cares for them to some extent. They are not for everyone. If a person wants a Yorkie that needs normal care, a tiny is not for them.

There are many who live a long life, many do not ..and that is because the owners lifestyle may not work well...some are prone to low blood sugar all their life. If you have a lifestyle where they can eat regular, not be stressed out and taken to the vet for any bowel problems, then they can be just fine. Unfortunely I see quite a few do not do well because of the owner.
