good to know that (hopefully) i'm not the only one from england... eekk! i can't be the only one loving sweet yorkies here in england! just not possible!
it gave me a shock and a stab in the heart when you said that the mothers could die from this type of breeding, which is stupid! i immediately think of the little puppies without a mother to care for them. brakes my heart! it's quite worrying that those breeders do that - it still not really sinking in - what sort of people must they be?!!
also i get your point, about the runt of the group. and i suppose the breeder cannot do anything about it, it's the course of nature, which in that case it's fine... i think. but do those puppies have more health problem still than the others? do those breeders have difficulties selling them?
another question that came up, is it wrong to really want one kinda small yorkie? i hope it's not cruel of me. i think it's kind of lovely that you can carry and care for them easily unlike big heavy dogs or the standard yorkie. |
Hello again dear, well with any of the smaller ones (even if they were born under a risky situation) if they are cared for really well as a puppy they may grow to be strong, healthy and happy!
The runts of the litter dont always have health issues ans if you get a dog from a good breeder then you will know that the dog was properly cared for and will most likly not have any issues. Sometimes what is really has to do is with the parents that the breeder uses, and if the parents are really good breeding candiates.. Its just that in a few cases the smaller ones are under developed and require the breeder to pay extra attention to them. It is absoultely NOT wrong to want a small yorkie, I think alot of people desire smaller yorkies (and i must admit i am like that alittle) My first dog Reeses ended up being 7 lbs which is fine with me because i love her just the same but my dog now he is only going to be 3lbs full grown and he is so cute, he's the one in my icon.
I dont think you should feel bad for wanting a smaller yorkie, just be careful from whom you get the dog from because as i said earlier, they often times can have problems. Shia, he doesnt have any problems at all! and he came from a great breeder!!
