I have a tiny yorkie. Tatiana is 3 lbs. I don't mind when others refer to her as a teacup. She's approaching six years old, and healthy as a horse. Every major vet procedure she went through (spay, dental extractions, etc.), she made a full recovery quickly. The vet remarked how scrappy she was.

Not every tiny yorkie is sickly or came from a bad breeder. In fact, Tatiana seems healthier than some larger yorkies I've come across.

Also, Tatiana looks remarkably young for her age. She ages well, too. People do a double-take when I tell them her age (they asked me). Some crazy woman told me,"Almost six years old? You must mean in human years, so she's almost one year old." I said,"No, she six years old in DOG years. She was born in 2007." That woman was shocked. Incidentally, why would say my dog's age in HUMAN years??

Actually, you ARE saying your dog's age in human years. In dog years she would be about 40-42. 7 dog years=1 human year.
