Sorry again.
I know everyone loves their Yorkie (regardless of its size) -- who wouldn't?
But - I am glad that people (even those with very small Yorkies) have stepped forward and reminded everyone of the possible health problems and special care that the little ones need. It's important for people to know these things before they go out searching for an extra tiny little dog.
There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of people here are the perfect people to have the smaller dogs. They do take care of them and give them the special care they need.
There are two things that I can't approve of:
1) Breeding Yorkies down to get smaller and smaller dogs.
2) People getting these little dogs who don't realize they need special care
and that they may require a lot of extra medical care (and can't afford it).
Sorry again - Carol Jean |
carol Jean I accept your apology. I was very tired from nursing a very very sick little yorkie around the clock for several days to save him and it just rubbed me the wrong way I guess. As much love as I feel for this little guy it is hard for me to imagine him being a status symbol for me or anything else other than my sweet little baby. i did understand your post and know the first few lines were the only ones directed at me. Again, apology accepted.
