I bet MORE of the huge Yorkies come from breeders who have no regard for the standard and throw two pets together to make puppies. Anyone doing something like that doesn't have knowledge of the breed and ignorance leads to health issues.

These dogs are supposed to be small. Under 7lbs. One of the reasons people are attracted to Yorkies is they want a small dog. Nothing wrong with that.

I don't agree with breeding tiny females but I think it's just as bad to breed poor quality large Yorkies.
