It's sad that some people don't do there home work before getting a small yorkie. I am blessed with four yorkie, two standard and two small. Polly and Sprout are both under 3lbs and have been very healthy, Polly will be two in Feb and only been to the vet for yearly exam and to be fixed. Sprout is 11 months and also has been healthy. I know they are small and take the precautions when needed. Both mine came from standard parents. I think a lot of owners that have small yorkies might not know all they should and the furbaby suffers. I think if you have a yorkie small or big from a good breeder they will be healthy. The sad thing is that people want the small ones and bad breeders will do what ever to supply the damand. It is like anything else you by, you have to do research and see the whole picture before you get it. Polly thinks she is as big as her fur-sister and brother and keeps then all in line. She is the alpha of the bunch. |
