Default If You Really Love You Yorkie/ The Breed

Please don't take this the wrong way but if you love the yorkie breed, why in the world would you try to breed or purchace a dog under 4 lbs.

Many people on here are on YT say that they love their babies like a member oftheir family. Well if that's the case why you put your babies life/ health at risk by breeding really small dogs and then act shocked it they don't make it.

Experts even tell you that really small( AKA teacups) have a high mortality rate, and run the risk of more health issues. It's not about the money but why would I knowing this invest money $900-2000 in someone that I know that is doing something unhealthy and dangerous for the animal.

My baby is 4 years old and 7 lbs and it easy not to see him sometimes if he doesn't make is presence known. This breed was originally 15lbs, now the AKC standard is 4-7 lbs. now people are still trying to breed them down to something the size of a guinea pig which are kept in a cages to keep them safe from harm. ( think about it) Dogs are ment to run around.

If that isn't aniaml cruelty I don't know what is.....

Excuse me YT family, respect to everyone but I needed to vent.
