- First off if us breeders kept all our females that couldn't produce puppies for us we would be HOARDERS and not breeders. I commend Natalie for placing her in a loving home at little or No cost except shipping. This fact shows how much she loves her dogs imo.
- Secondly your comment about it showing she doesn't care is uncalled for imo. If she didn't care she would not have made it important for her to be spayed and given a loving home as her main concern.
- Thirdly you are entitled to your opinion as we all are, but when you say negative things about someone without clearly knowing the true facts that to me is being unnecessarily mean and rude.
- Fourthly Yes she breeds tinys but has been doing this for over 25 years and has small males that can safely allow her smaller girls to safely whelp their puppies. She also has tiny genetics behind them and has proven over time that there is a desire for people to own them smaller.
Just because people want them doesn't mean they need them. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. This is just an excuse Deb.

For example there are alot of people who have tinys from one breeder or another and desire to get a second yorkie. They go to Natalie to purchase one because they can get a tiny one small enough to safely play and keep their first smallone company. Natalie is very picky as to where her tiny yorkies go and she keeps them way longer then most breeders do so she can be 100% certain they are free of any health issues.
How does she keep them longer than most - 12 weeks is what they should be kept for regular weight Yorkies. Smaller ones should be kept even longer.

Yes I have a few smaller females myself but not as small as Natalie does. I generally have most of the standard sized females I use for breeding, however I have seen first hand how easily a 3 lb female bred to a 1 1/2 male can have puppies (I have 4 puppies whelped here in Calif with me now from one of Natalies tiny females)
I hope you take what I have said and consider being abit more polite with each other on here.

OMG - I can't believe I'm reading this!
I just came across this thread and I am horrified by this comment. I am so upset reading it that I am shaking. How can anyone think this is ok?

How can you expect not to be judged by your actions? That doesn't even make sense. We are all judged by what we do and say.


You can defend your right to breed these little ones all you want but the prices both of you are charging are directly related to their size - and you know it. Neither of you show your dogs or claim to have more than average vet bills for your girls delivering so why are you charging $5000.00 for a puppy? $$$$$$


To the OP - I think you'll find that the majority of members that have been here awhile will agree that breeding females under 5 pounds isn't recommended. I think if some of the long time breeders were to come on here they would also say that there are some exceptions - but that they look at the entire picture when breeding.


I really hope that people viewing or new members don't think this is ok. It just breaks my heart to think that someone would breed little ones of this size.


I think if people want an animal the size of a mouse - that they should go get a mouse!

And that's my opinion
