A yorkie that small is much more susceptible to illness and can truly have health problems - I would be leery even taking one that small out in public for fear of it coming to harm or getting sick.
the one I REFERRED to has an open fontanal - and is as of now selling for an outrageous price. My comment was a joke saying that a dog that size would need a service dog for himself - it was a joke.
I totally agree that yorkies and most breeds are totally beneficial to those with disabilities - but the thread I posted in wasn't one of those times - and to start a debate over that is just silly. |
Villette.. I agree with you... it is unthinkable for a 1.6# dog to be a "service" dog in the way that most people view them. I actually laughed at you suggesting the yorkie needing a service dog itself. (funny -- but true)
My chi has an extremely large open fontanel and I cringe just taking her outside the house when going to her vet's. My son has been taught how to care for her and even though she is "HIS" dog, he does not hold her unless he is sitting down or supervised.
The other thread was getting waaay too out of hand... lol
