I have 3 yorkies in my home.
Gracie, 9lbs has mild LP and reverse sneezing
Spike, 4 lbs perfectly healthy
Sugar 2.7 lbs has never had one single health issue
My mom has 2 yorkies
Alfie, 6 lbs severe reverse sneezing and probably developing LP
Sophie, 3 lbs perfectly healthy
I don't see our little yorkies health as an exception to the rule. They prove the rule that responsible, respected breeders produce healthy dogs even though occasionally some pups turn out smaller than expected. I know that there are plenty of irresponsible breeders breeding strictly for tinies and not health- surprise! Unhealthy puppies. That is just absolutely not the case with all little yorkies. |
Thank you! I loved your reply
I also love how she put that you wouldn't want a 90 lb. adult human?? That cracks me up. I just happen to weigh around 95 lbs. and I'm 25 yrs old!! However, I'm only 5'1 and small framed. I don't look like a stick and I'm completely healthy. My weight according to my doctor is just right for my height and frame but I guess to this person I was breed wrong, LOL. My entire family is small so we must all be rejects. Just cracks me up that people make comments like that.
