Ok I usually stay away from this sub. I don't know why it erkes me so. It takes alot for me to just walk away from them but I usually do. I don't think it takes a special person to care for a tiny yorkie anyone with a heart who is capable to love can own the biggest of dog as well as the tinest. The Yorkshire breed a are little to begin with. We all can agree breeding for tinnies is wrong but to say that all of them are prone to getting hurt or sick is just wrong. As far as accidents go,,, 2 lbs 4 lbs 7 lbs or even 10 lbs,,, that is still very small. You still have to watch out where your sitteing to make sure there isn't a sleeping yorkie in that spot. You have to watch your step because you don't want to step on them. They all like to play rough, they all get underfoot and stepped on at least once in thier lifetime. And with my thoughts and views on freak accidents is,,,,,, if the good lord wants them to be with him,,, then it's just thier time. I have 2 good examples here,,, Gus's father, may he rest in peace. Was killed by a fence that fell on him one very windy day. He was a 3 and half pounder. Are you telling me that if he had been bigger (standerd size) he's chances would have been greater that he would have survived? The other,, As you all may know about Gus's accident, He pulled though when even the doctors said he wouldn't. That goes to show you it just wanted his time to go. I thank the heavens above that I still have him here completely healthy and no side affects what so ever. I also have to point out that I have 4 kid in the house. My niece is 3 and yes I do worry about her hurting Gus but not because that he is littler then standerd size, because she can just as easy hurt him just as easy as she can a bigger one. I don't find that I have to care for Gus who is under 3 lbs different then my Pom who was 4.5 or my lab mix who was 45 lbs. The smaller breeds, yes you have to be a little more careful that goes without saying. A tiny yorkie takes the same amount of effort to care for as the standerd size no ore no less.
