I personally do NOT believe a female under 4 lbs. should ever be bred for any reason! If a breeder does their homework and they know the lines they are breeding and they are NOT breeding for tinies, that is not what I refer to as someone being irresponsible with a dogs life.. It is the breeders that are breeding for tiny so called teacup, toys or minis that are being irresponsible! WHENEVER someone breeds a dog they are taking that dogs life into their own hands and I do NOT care what the size of the dog is! There have been many yorkie breeders with female over 5-6 lbs. and they also have been devasted by the end result!
I always tell everyone NEVER purchase a yorkie from someone that advertises or refers to their dogs/puppies as teacups, toys or minis!
It all goes back to being educated and making the proper choices for your dog and NOT your bank account!

YEAH!!!!! Good for you......
It seems everyone has their own opinion....Tell me this if yorkies started about being say around 35 pounds then how in the world did they get down to 7 pounds lets say.... Wonder what dogs did before humans came along and decided who could and could not be bred.
By all means of course I would not breed one that my vet said not to due to problems that could arise but if there were no problems then why not breed one smaller than 5 pounds...Who said we have the right to down others for what they believe? We do not have the right, nor do we have the right to try and push our opinions on others.....
We should all consider each others feelings and not push what is not wanted..
