After the thread on YT got attention, the breeder removed the weights from all the female adult dogs on her site. The males are still listed with weight, but no more for the females. She is still breeding tinies (same pictures) BUT you can't see it from her website now. The only evidence left online is the YT thread.
I have also noticed the threads started looking for tinies lately are more detailed as to why they "need" a tiny -- to match weight of current dog, to travel, etc.... So, they are anticipating getting some flack for asking for a tiny but they figure they can justify it. Actually, that is not all a bad idea either -- there is nothing wrong with wanting a tiny Yorkie. I just think they should only be the result of a natural, ethical, sensible weight breeding. Sometimes they do come out small -- those pups need placed and there are some great homes among YT members. But it would be nice for those tiny females to not have to be faced with dangerous breedings. |
Debra said it all wonderfully...when they are responsibly and ethically bred and just come out on the smaller side these pups need to be placed in a home that accommodates their needs...the major concern is that dogs too small to be bred are being bred to create undersized dogs...and the dangers of health issues etc.

I'll be rude here, I mean it and I don't care. I am being intentionally rude in answering that question:
some people just plain don't think...and if they are, in cases like this I question their ability to think properly...
