I am sorry I wasnt here earlier to try to snswer some very good questions. Some of the questions are really complicated and they are really ones my vet does not ask or examine. And really some of them are ????????.
My yorkies have been tested by buyers and their vets for problems. Everything from a liver bile test to a pricey cardiologist test.
Why?.........some vets due it just for weight.......I am notorious for over estimating weight by alot...........so far so good.......health was excellent. |

What you say is not quite true....NOT a good comparison at all.....breeding a 3 pound bitch canine is not the same as a "small human".
1) a small adult female human is generally around 100 lbs more or less and give birth to a 5 to 8 lb baby.....average.
2) a tiny 3 or 3 /12 lb toy bitch is no comparison. The average size of a Yorkie puppy is 4 to 5 ozs.....muliply that by say a litter of 4. It does not take a rocket scientist to see the greater stress is on the tiny 3 lb bitch who's offspring weigh over 50% of her body weight at whelp! And consider this....Yorkie puppies generally double their weight by 10 to 12 days.....that is a
considerable amount of total puppy weight for the 3 lb bitch to support with her body.....considerable!
its really a matter of genetics and their individual physical measurements. snip
BINGO!!....yep you are correct it is a matter of GENETICS. Do you KNOW every dog in her pedigree for.....oh lets say 5 generations! Because she may carry the genes of ANY one of those dogs.....large and small. Too bad we do not a DNA test to tell us.....OH YEAH....SHE'S CARRYING ALL TINY GENES.
