I wish everyone who wants a tiny dog and does actually get one winds up with a healthy one who is never injured due to to its tiny size and has inherited no bad problems and won't ever have to sit by and watch them suffer due to all those medical problems so many of them have due to being so tiny. But sadly, that is too often not the case. And "teacup" - don't get me started on what I think of someone who purposefully and with malice aforethought creates "teacup" Yorkies knowing of the problems they are so often born to have and the life so many of them will have to live!!! Shame on those breeders. |
Okay but this thread isn't about breeders who purposely breed for tinies! That's what everyone seems to be missing.
