When one wants to celebrate a group of tiny dogs that are predisposed to many health and just living difficulties, it sends a bad message to one and all coming to visit this website for good information and advice on what kind of Yorkie to buy.

It grinds my gears to see people that might in any way glamorize these tiny dogs as something to be highly desired, not that a teacup club here would have done that in actuality but the perception could easily be that the tiny, ultra-small Yorkie is an ideal, special dog to have. Having lived with a tiny 3 lb. Yorkie for 13 years, I wouldn't wish the heartbreak of watching another little dog suffer like that due to its size-related medical problems on anyone.

Thank you Jeannie....great post, very well explained!
