I agree. I know of someone whose small yorkie (3 or 4 lbs) broke her leg from jumping off of the back of a couch. My Abbie, who is 14 lbs does that occasionally but she's not as fragile so my heart doesn't stop when I see her jumping from the couch. Yorkies are also constantly under foot and it's easier to step on and injure one that is tiny. It doesn't mean that the tiny ones are not helathy but there are certainly things that can cause injury that are less likely in dogs than are larger
