I'm not defending anyone here but tinies can happen even when not breeding for them. When we went to look at Riley we saw his sister...they were about 16 weeks and she wasn't even a pound yet when Riley was 2.9. She was so tiny she stood in the palm of my hand and would truly fit in a shirt pocket. She was a total doll although I'm just about sure she was headed for trouble in the future, her soft spot hadn't closed all the way and her eyes were set a little bit apart. The breeder was keeping her, which was the responsible thing to do. I did see both parents and they were normal sized Yorkies. |
