All things being equal -- tiny little Yorkies have more health problems and congenital defects than larger ones - plus very tiny little pups have an especially hard time fighting health problems or diseases that larger Yorkies can handle much better.

Yes - I know - many of us have healthy little Yorkies - but, a recent poster just lost her darling little Yorkie. She is devastated and it sounds like she didn't know much about Yorkies sizes and and only wanted a small dog and just thought she was buying a healthy little pet.

I agree with everyone - if a tiny little Yorkie comes from two standard-sized parents - that's life and can't be helped - But to deliberately breed to get smaller and smaller little Yorkies is criminal and is usually done for no other reason than money.....because people want and are willing to pay more for smaller Yorkies.


It interesting - because we all say all the time - don't buy puppies that come from puppymills - because you are just encouraging puppymills to stay in operation.

However - many people go out looking for and buy these "tiny little dogs" --- and keep these unscrupulous breeders in business.

What is the difference!!!!!!
