The Question was
So....You STILL want a Tiny Yorkie ?
I would take one in a heartbeat to be honest, If some one was to come up to me with a 1- 2-3 lb Yorkie and say here, Heck yeah I would take it and I think a lot of people would. I was handed a 1 lb Yorkie many years a go and It had many health problems not to mention its back had been crushed. I had her for seven years and would do it all over again .She was in no pain until the end,,,,, But we gave her 7 years that noone else was willing to do. and she was a sweet heart. So to this question yes I would still want a tiny Yorkie. Theres a lot of people who ask this same question and if you notice they to have very small Yorkies, And dont get me wrong I do think there is a lot more care for these little ones and a lot more risk. And do I think tiny Yorkies are for everyone? NO..........Would I breed for tinys? NO. would I breed a female under 5 lbs? NO...... Would I take in a Tiny? Oh yeah
I have seen a lot of different sites that ask this same question. But yet they went out and spent top dollar for their Tiny Yorkie. I have seen many breeders that wont sell a puppy to someone that works and will not be home 24/7 with their puppy , but yet thay are not home 24/7. I have heard a lot of people say people with small children should not own Yorkies. To that I would have to say it all depends on the owners and the kids. some kids are very good with small pets but yet still need someone to watch them when they do handle them at all times. and yet theres others that have not been taught how to handle a small pet. So I dont understand this. I had small children around my first tiny Yorkie and they was taught how to handle such a small dog. But yet the small children from the people I got got the Yorkie from is the reason its back was crushed. BUt I do understand some kids just dont know and would end up hurting them not on purpose but just by dragging it around like a toy. But not all. So on that I would have to meet with the people buying the puppy and the kids. So theres a lot of things I would say yes to for one person and No to for another. Hope I dont make anyone mad. But this is how I feel.
