If I may respectfully ask "where" you read this?
I have never found a credible source for this idea and from my experience and the experience of others with tinies, this is not true...it has all been
unsubstantiated hearsay and espoused mostly by yorkie owners and breeders who are opposed to tinies because they are not breed standard.
I never claimed that the article was "putting the owners of tinies down"...just that it is spreading misinformation unless they can point to a credible source like a study or survey that has been done.
I do not agree with the statement that there are more stories on here about sick or injured tinies than standard sized yorkies. All yorkies are more "fragile" than most other breeds because they are smaller dogs. That is logical.
