Are there any sturdy Yorkie lines out there? My pup and my daughters pup come from a very reputable breeder who breeds Westminister Best of Breed dogs, but they have such fragile thin bones. I am afraid to get another Yorkie because of the fear of damaging our current dogs or the future dogs. We have already had LP surgery on one, and the other might need it as well, PLUS we had a broken front leg from a fall. You love these little guys so much and it is so awful to see them in pain.
Since they are both small (4.4lbs & 3.6lbs) we would have to get another smallish dog no larger than 5 lbs to be safe for these tiny ones.
Any suggestions?
