There is too much emphasis on breeding the super tiny ones. They are at such a high risk of injury when they are that small. My vet told me one of her super tiny Yorkie patients was killed when he was accidentally slammed in the door. She said they see too many tragic accidents with the tiny ones.
Now I'm confused too. I thought the YTCA DID state that 4-7 pounds is preferred, though the standard is 7 lbs and under.
