I agree that education is the key. I know I have been one of those who have made some cautionary comments about little yorkies. One on my yorkies is 5.5 pounds and the other is 2.5 pounds. I don't have half the worries with the bigger one than the smaller one. And little Tia just broke her leg jumping off the couch and it ended up costing a lot of $$$. I believe all pet owner need to be informed about all aspects of their pet. And, fact is that the smaller dogs have some risked that larger dog don't. So as long as an owner is prepared for what could happen, then size shouldn't enter into it.
Mandy, welcome to YT. I am so glad that your furbaby is healthy and strong. Tia is too (she is my 2.5 pounder), but I really learnt a lesson when she jumped. I really realized how truly careful I needed to be
