Im sorry but I disagree.
People who have taken the time to research the breed will not be looking for the smallest yorkie they can get because they know the risks.
Dogs which are bred to be smaller and smaller are usually unhealthy, they usually cost a bomb in vet fees and usually dont live as long.
Any GOOD breeder would not sell a tiny at these prices, they would be given to people who know how to deal with under sized dogs and know how to deal with any health problems they might face.
Breeding any dog under 5lbs is cruel, the dog will struggle to carry these pups and the dog itself AND the pups could well die.
Now you tell me what is good about that?
And no I dont look at the website and think "OMG - how adorable" I look at the website and think "how sad that greedy people will put these poor animals through hell all for the sake of money"
