Every one makes it sound like all little 2lb dogs are unhealthy its just not true. my little dude is proof in that. i think there are just alot of bad breeders out there taking advantage of people wanting a smaller yorkie and breeding unhealthy runts to make them. nothing is guarrantee if the bad breeder is selling 5lb yorkies they are bound to be sick too. its not all about size. There needs to be better laws on breeding there really does. And if someone sells you a sick puppy or is selling sick puppies there needs to be a bigger consiquence for them. And untill then we will always have sick dogs no matter what size they are. |
Yes agree. Not ALL tinies are unhealthy. Plenty in my local meetup group are under 3 lbs and healthy.
And to add, a 7 pound dog is already really freakin small!
