Health issue or not, large or small it depends on the BREEDER!! 99% of the stories on here about dogs getting sick and dying are from bad breeders or pet stores. And most of it happened in puppyhood. How do we know that that same dog wasn't gonna be a 10lb dog??? We don't because it died!!! And if it does survive it can still be traced to the quality of the breeder most of the time. Half the time the growth charts are wrong anyway so you don't know what your gonna get.
The whole thread was started asking us to explain why we have the smaller end of the stick when it comes to yorkies. I swear for people to have to sit here and DEFEND why they got a small, large, fat, skinny, droopy eared or pointed earred dog is beyond me!!!!
Why don't we sub categorize them and debate these points?
silky vs cotton
docked tail vs non docked
biewer vs standard
parti vs standard
pointed ears vs droopy ears
cute vs not so cute
What is up with this US (tinys) vs Them (over standard) mentality here??? I mean I know we are all yorkie lovers but some of us are harboring some serious issues and just won't admit it. Why don't you just go out an get a smaller yorkie and be done with it??? If you are reading something into a post that isn't there then it must have your own hidden insecurities about your dog. GET OVER IT!!! |
I don't know who this post was directed to because you didn't quote anyone - but if it is in reference to my post above, I never said anything bad about larger yorkies... and I never said all tiny yorkies are sick - I said they are more prone to injury.
This is just a discussion... not an argument or debate. It's annoying to me when people provide rude or harsh responses directed at someone. All of our members on YT are lovers of yorkies, and we are here to discuss them... in a mature way instead of saying things like your last sentence quoted above. I'm not trying to personally attack you in any way, shape, or form - just giving you my opinion that I don't think we should be attacking other members.
BTW, I do have a small Yorkie - he's 3 lbs... and I think he's cute as heck. BUT I do wish he was closer to 5-6lbs.
