As others have pointed out, she's a" featured breeder" on Yorkietalk, this means she pays Yorkietalk for advertising privileges to be listed on the Yorkietalk featured breeders page, it does not mean Yorkietalk endorses her. I'm sure she lists here, because it helps her sell lots of dogs, so I don't think anyone is going to be changing her mind. I am livid at her post, and that was the very most I could tone it down. I also was afraid to post anything because I don't want to get into trouble with Yorkietalk. However, her post is clearly implying the propaganda of "If you want a "tiny" yorkie, don't go to a show breeder, go to a tiny breeder specialist, as she knows how to safely breed tinies". Is she the only one; are all the others on the web telling the truth too, and the mother club who pays for all those scientific studies wrong? Why does the YTCA frown on breeding tinies, is because "they don't know how to safely do it?" I truly believe if it were safe, the mother club would endorse it. If you want a tiny yorkie, you should ONLY go to a show breeder or other ethical breeder, because they won't be breeding them; they know they are ONLY suitable as pets.

Again, I repeat I hate posting on these controversial threads, and opposing the breeding practices of certain breeders. I do believe that there is a safe and unsafe way to do certain things, not just different opinions, and when it comes to breeding and living creatures, we should always error on the side of safety. I also know so many people want tinies, and posts like hers is just want they want to hear. My love for Joey has extended to whole breed, and I really want to encourage people to only support those breeders who are doing the best for the breed.

First I would like to begin with...
Nancy, I for one did not just see one post of attacking the person.. but have seen many over time.. so please do not think when I posted, it was just meant for you or anyone posting..Your comment ( many have pointed out my rudeness ) I meant in general and over time..and I must have missed a poster pointing directly at you.. I must go back and reread your posts again...
With that said..I am sure YTCA and many breeders felt this same way when breeding down to yorkies even being the size of 4-7 pounds as standard..again not that I agree and I do not have tinies to breed, nor will I.. but what I am saying is there are many breeding issues and controveries over years, time and gee not very long ago about biewers.. are they are they not.. what are they, will they be there own breed...etc etc.. again not in defence of anyone, nor wanting to add to drama... as it is now who is to say it will never change to even smaller..we might never see the day ourselves.. again the original dogs bred to produce the yorkie were so so much larger.. and I am sure back then while taking years to produce what is now the standard.. there had to be breeders or people as yourself that so disagreed and said many things on the negative part..
So the drama will continue over years for as you said..Why does the YTCA frown on breeding tinies, is because "they don't know how to safely do it?" . but again some one stood their ground and fought for what we now have and the small size we really do breed...
I did not read this OP`s part as it being better then buying from a show breeder or a breeder that breeds for the proper size..
As for your comment about her !!! she's a" featured breeder" on Yorkietalk, this means she pays Yorkietalk for advertising privileges to be listed on the Yorkietalk featured breeders page, it does not mean Yorkietalk endorses her. was to me a good dig.
I also might add that if it were not for people not saying from this forum, but in general, wanting these small yorkies.. the supply and demand would not be there.. for there are many show breeders that no matter what will end with a tiny sometimes in every litter they produce and yet get their shows dog size also.. they get sold..again by any of us breeders.. people want tinies.. and until we change the worlds thinking.. we are going to have a breeder to prouduce what people seem to want..
Yet for all the people that buy that know a baby is going to be teenie.. and can have many problems.. they still want.. is this one breeders fault or anyone that sells a tiny to begin with I ask..and yes please I would love to see comments.. I am not being harsh here nor sarcastic.. so would love to see if anyone out there can wonder as I myself do at times..
I have seen show breeders ask as much for a tiny they held back for breeding and did not make the size, ask plenty also.. as a pet.. much more then one that is of the standard but not breeding quality..
