But issues like hypoglycemia are not only relevant to tinies or small yorkies, it affects the whole breed. All yorkies can get stressed out.

There are certain illnesses that affect the breed as a whole and sometimes I feel we on here skirt that problem and make it out to affect only the small or tiny yorkies which is not true. I have been a member on this board for almost a year and though I don't post all the time I read and follow most of what's written here and there is not enough talk about owning a yorkshire terrier as there is about a teacup.
Oh well I agree with you on that. Yorkies are all a small dog and their are illnesses they are all prone to not just tinies. Also there are alot of healthy tinies on here so I dont think someone coulld generalize and say they are unhealthy
