I wouldn't have to make any "adjustments" because I have no problem with the tiny yorkies. I just wouldn't KNOWINGLY search for a tiny puppy knowing the challenges they face being so small. If Cali turned out to be smaller, obviously I wouldn't have any choice but to accept that. It's not like I'm going to get rid of her because she is little. I know some breeders won't give you a tiny if you have small kids. But I know that there are plenty of people who have tiny babies, both fur and skin. Somebody is selling them to families with small children. Including my family. What I find ironic, though, is that my children have been great with Cali, and that the person who actually dropped her (resulting in her broken leg), was a grown man. So, what does that actually say? And I have always worried about any pet that I have had, big and small. But nothing like I have for Cali. And that is because she is a tiny, fragile dog. Love her to death, but it is what it is.
