However, again, I am going to make you angry. I know a very good tiny breeder, and she only breeds for tiny yorkies. She loves her dogs. She takes a lot of care and spends a lot of money with vet care and keeping everything safe and the breed as best she can, like the ladies here. Just because she breeds tinies and does ask a lot for them doesn't mean she is not a good breeder. I take that as an insult to her.
Sure there are not good tiny breeders out there and there are breeders tha that have the standard that aren't good either.
What my question is....why all the fuss about the tiny yorkies? Why do you get so upset about it? |
This thread was in response to the posting that had SICK looking "tinies" or perhaps stuffed animals and a complete scam. There were red flags and marketing ploys all over the place that people need to be educated about avoiding.
I made the comment regarding the size of 5+ pounds not being big after your comment made them sound like they were huge. When in reality, there isn't much difference in size/portability between a 5 pound dog and a less than 5 pound. There can be a difference in health, but that really wasn't a factor in my comment. I just wanted to point out that I don't consider 5 pounds to be BIG by any means. They are still very tiny dogs even past the 5 pound marker.
I do not know the breeder you are referring too, so I'm not about to comment on that. Nor do I have evidence on how she markets to customers either. I don't feel I insulted said person in any way.
