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
My furbaby weights 1.9 kg, and she almost gives me a heart attack when she plays "kamicase" in the couch...
