I guess that it does depend on the dogs themselves. I have had two tinies. My Ginger was 4 lbs. She was very healthy until her last couple years, she was 15 at death. I never have had any trouble with vacs. The vet that I go to specializes in toy breeds. He is the best and knows how much these little ones can take. I am not offended, I just feel that a normal size yorkie can have problems too, not just the small ones. I do agree they are more fragile and must be watched constantly so they don't get hurt. Mine have been little spitfires. No, I would never breed my little Mari. She has the little narrow hips and is only 3 lbs. She thinks she is 12 lbs!! God I love these Yorkies!!! They are the best!!
