I have a smaller one, who is luckily very healthy. But the breeder wasn't breeding to get tiny yorkies, mother was about 5-6lbs and the dad was 4lbs. I actually paid alot less for Maddie than the two bigger boys in the litter were sold for. She had that attitude that I wanted, and I fell in love with her, she is perfect except for her size. But there is no way I would have bought her if the parents were undersized, or unsound, not tested, etc... I think it is the buyers responsibility to make sure they know where their dog is comming from.There is a big difference between a tiny dog that comes from a sound breeding pair and a tiny dog that comes from people breeding for tinies. I think it is sad and unfair to purposly breed them to be this size and to put such a tiny body through that.
