Just like this board, the definition of tiny keeps changing.
Remember the standard is under 7lbs. (not 4 - 7 lbs.) People that are uncomfortable with that might be better off with a larger breed. |
I don't think finding a tiny yorkie should be the number 1 factor. People can still love yorkies for other reasons than just thieir size. They are affectionate, energetic, and smart as well. Some people might look for a bigger yorkie because they have kids or other dogs. Others still bought a yorkie from standard parents and it just became bigger than the standard. I think I'm done at these arguments as well. It seems like YT is so obessed with size.
