I know! I consider my 19lb pug dog to be a small dog!

i never got criticized for milu being small. (i probably have, but i go about not paying much attention. so i probbaly just didn't notice)
i think people hear bits and pieces of info. here and there, and generalize it and apply it to any situation they want to.
yes, there are info out there about not dressing dogs up because it's bad (but that was about large dogs with undercoat) and yes, there are info. out there about unhealthy tiny yorkies. but not all tiny yorkies are unhealthy!
although it does scare me alot since people constantly say that small yorkies are unhealthy. so it makes me worry about my yorkie.
but i did my research, and milu's parents were both about 5lbs. so i hope everything is ok. but, it does make me worry when people constantly talk about how tiny yorkies are unhealthy.
anyways, i hate it when people say rude/stupid things. why they have to open their mouth and ruin someone's day, i have no idea.

I don't think that small sized Yorkies are very common where I live. Actually, I don't see many Yorkies around here at all, so I think that is why people are overly critical of Missy's size. I don't worry about her being unhealthy because she is small. She has been checked by the vet several times, and I'm told she is very healthy and completey normal, just on a smaller scale. She's proved she is strong by already undergoing a big surgery on her leg. Her Mom was 5 lbs and her Dad was 3.5 lbs. Hopefully she will still gain some weight, although she's quit growing for now. She is only just under 7 months old though. I really could care less if she ends up 3 lbs or 30, I love her just the same. For me, it's all about the cute face, size doesn't matter.
