I never said I felt it wasn't a bad thing to breed tinies and I never said "they had been doing it for years". Please do not misquote me or make statements as though I said them when I didn't.
I started asking these questions in defense of the many many breeders who come here who breed smaller yorkies and get bashed when they admit to this. I wanted to find out if it is really that bad and why?
I am not in favor of putting any dog's life at risk. If it is risky to breed at 6 lb female, it should not be done, if it is too risky at 4 lb female, it shouldn't be done, if it too risky because the dog is in poor health or has a narrow pelvis, it should not be done, but to just say, "BREEDING TINY YORKIES IS CRUEL AND THOSE WHO DO IT SHOULD ALL BE SHOT" or whatever without a reason other than "common sense" was a concern for me since I always want to know "why"?n Adn what is the definition of TINY? Soem say anything under 4 lbs and others say anything under 5 lbs. What do the specialists say?
Why is so wrong to want to know this, and
why do so many of you think that because I dare to ask "why", it is assumed that I think it is okay?????
