It all depends on their lines and the breeding they came from. Breeders that sell to pet shops and backyard breeders will not maintain the quality of the breed that reputable experienced breeders will.

Tiny happens. If you can't appreciate small dogs don't get one. If you understand and appreciate the joy that comes with these special dogs find a good breeder and get one. They are not for everyone but those of us that wanted one understand how fortunate we are. If I ever get another pup, I will do everything I can to get one that will be under 4lbs. Perfect size for me.

Sheesh....this is ridiculous !!!
I have a Yorkie just under 2 pounds. She is perfect in every way and just as smart as my other 5 standard size Yorkies....3-9 pounds.
She is "Honey I shrunk the dog" and she is totally precious.
This is very erroneous information to be passing around here or anywhere else.
People are different.....dogs are different....some smarter than the other.
