Dont paint ALL breeders with such a broad brush....."...I don't know much about breeders; however,I know they sure do like to produce those poor little tiny teacups to sell for $$$$.". ~ You are more correct with the FIRST part of your statement than you could possibly know, as evidenced by the rest of your thought process!!!....."THEY" do NOT all deliberately breed Yorkies strictly to get runts, nor do "THEY" all deliberately breed the runts! You will find there are "breeders" (NOT a dispicable word NOR activity!) that go way, way above and far beyond the call of duty breeding Yorkies and doing it "the right way".....with love, concern for the breed, compassion for her breeding dogs, as well as her babies, NO EXPENSE SPARED IN HER PROGRAM, showing interest and concern and providing 24/7 help to new buyers FOR THE LIFE OF THEIR PUPPY, and seldom to never, breaking even let alone "putting another life at risk just to make a buck". EXCUSE MY FRANKNESS AND OBVIOUS IRRITABILITY WITH YOU....I HAVE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT, ATTENDING TO A MOMMA ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH IN THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS....SHE ISNT EVEN IN ACTIVE LABOR YET, I AM STRICTLY WATCHING HER AND RUBBING HER TUMMY BECAUSE I WANT HER AS COMFORTABLE and HAPPY AS POSSIBLE, SINCE I PUT HER IN THIS CONDITION! I also do this so that people that want a happy, healthy, adorable Yorkie baby that they can look forward to spending the next 10-15 years with, will have a puppy available to them that will fulfill that desire! I will get back to my momma now!!!!!!!!!!
