and hearing people's experience with sick dogs scared me, and i wanted to try to tell others that they should first and foremost pay attention to the health of the puppy, not the size.
The receptionist at my vets office would even call her a teacup, I don't think that the majority of people we run int who questions us on that are the same as say, someone who was looking at maybe getting a yorkie puppy. If that was the case I would then explain a little more so they had at least the little bit of info I can provide. But someone walking buy who randomly asks just isn't worth the bother, their next question would probably be how much did she/he cost you. What i'm trying to say is that if you are able to speak with people about this topic and lead them in the right direction getting their own yorkie pup thats wonderful. I just don't bother with curiosity seekers.
