Courtney,
You are exactly right. Many of us are very well educated about the smaller Yorkies.
I was so blessed, to have two tinies in my life, from reputable Show breeders.
I was also so very fortunate, that my 1st Yorkies breeder, spent a lot of time with me. He was and still is a wonderful Show breeder. Although, now he shows the Japanese Chin.
He is such a wonderful man, that when I called him to tell him about Tiffany's death, he wanted to give me a Japanese Chin puppy.
But, my heart beats.....Yorkie.
So, I learned so much in regards to caring for my tiny girl from him.
The "tinies" that are unhealthy are the ones that come from BYB's and the puppy-mills.
So, when a new member inquires about where to find a small Yorkie, I feel, the best way anyone can help is to make sure to guide them in the direction of reputable Show breeders.
And from there, the breeder, determines if they are a home, they feel safe to place a tiny.
