Drowning - Well as mine go swimming regularly I don't think drowning is too much of a worry - having said that I wouldn't let my bigger dogs go into fast running water either.
Jumping - Yorkies can and do compete in agility but I doubt the tiny ones could.
Doors - any dog needs to be protected from doors especially if they have a tail.
Anexthesia - Many yorkies are prone to dental disease and it is not uncommon for them to need a dental at least every 2-3 years so breeding smaller and smaller is going to make this a problem.
Hypoglycemia - Unheard of as far as I can see in larger yorkies.
At the end of the day these tinies have always existed they were simply neutered to prevent them breeding which I'm sorry but as far as I am concerned is what should be happening now. Yorkies should be capable of hunting rats - I'm not suggesting doing this but they should be capable, that is the breed standard any deviation from that is not good IMO. |
