Awww, I hope nobody interprets the responses on this thread as larger than standard yorkies aren't worthy of everything that standard yorkies are. Of course they are and unless I missed something (always possible
) I didn't see where anyone said that. The question was why do some people prefer tiny yorkies. Some people said I wanted a tiny because of A, B and C and some people said I wanted a large yorkie because of A, B and C. There's nothing wrong with that- we all have our own opinions. My main point was responsible breeders do not intentionally breed for larger than standard dogs and they also don't intentionally breed for so called teacups. Just because your dog is large does not mean it's any healthier than a small dog. That comes down to buying your puppy from a breeder who has learned what they were doing and breeding good, healthy- and yes- standard lines.
