And - yes - of course, a lot of little (tiny) Yorkies are healthy.

*** My Yorkie is 12 pounds - a whooping 12 pounds - and he is still very small (yes he is!). I have grown to really love his size. And, you can't believe how many people who know him want one the exact same size that he is. He is a delightful, healthy, friendly, loveable, affectionate little pet. I couldn't have asked for more. And - I am being truthful when I say, he is still a very little dog. He just isn't very big at all!

It's funny that we want to discount the price of a Yorkie that is larger than 7 pounds -- but turn around and charge more for a little Yorkie that is smaller than 5 pounds........ what's wrong with this picture!

I agree, I've commented on that before too.

How many times are people willing to pay more to get less, except for yorkies.

However, I do fine it refreshing to find someone who is concerned about the health problems of a "small" 5 to 6 pound yorkie. After having so many people reject the "large" 5 to 6 pounders in favor of the tiny ones.

It just goes to show you, size is all relevant.
