That is absolutely not true. You would be very surprised at the number of people who want the larger yorkies, especially people with children. I remember one family who adopted a 17 pound yorkie from YHR and the reason was because they were from England where it is common to see the larger yorkies. They were very disappointed when they started looking for one here in the US.
They also wanted one with a full tail which this one had. He was a gorgeous yorkie. We have never had a problem adopting out larger yorkies.
I also want to say to you that healthy is not always something that can be determined from an early age. You say you sought out a breeder who breeds tinies. I would be concerned about that...you call him/her reputable and I would definitely question that. BUT...nothing that can be done..it is what it is. I hope you are right and you don't have health issues down the road. They often come along later on. And, of course, they can come from any sized yorkie; but when breeders are intentionally breeding tinies, it is more likely to happen.
I hope you have many happy healthy years with your pup.
