I'll compare it with babies...if you had a baby make it to full term and a preemie both are very fragile but you would pay extra attention to the premature baby in terms of eating, developmental stages, etc than you would with the full term newborn because they wouldn't have the extra resistance to certain things that a full term would. The OP asked for info regarding using bells for their yorkie's and people's EXPERIENCES with owning a tiny pup...not a debate.  |
But some people think 17 pound yorkies are considered big dogs and that is very far from the truth.
