Took my pup to the vet yesterday for his shots. He's 17 weeks old and weighs 5 lbs 4 oz. The vet said his weight is wonderful and went into a list of problems that the little small Yorkie have. He is 100% against people wanting and breeding Yorkies hoping they will be less than 5 pounds full grown. He said, "It is criminal!!!"
I know we have a lot of people who have little 3 1/2 or 4 pound Yorkies that are healthy ---but, unfortunately, this is often not the case. Even though many puppies survive without a mirad of health problems ---the odds are just not in their favor.
I am so afraid that we will never be able to stop this trend......
