I absolutely hate that the standard has been set to such a small size. It seems like the efforts to produce ever smaller dogs is going to result in the extinction of the breed.
I would love to see a standard of 10, 15, or even 20 pounds for Yorkies. The breed might have a chance of survival then, instead of being frail creatures ever in danger of illnesses and injuries who are thought of more as cute accessories than beloved companions.
