CHINCHILLA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :animal36

Sorry I just thought that was a hilarious point! :p

I am not a breeder but I think it is very wrong to breed tinies. A Tiny female would need a c section and she could die. Plus I think the breed standard should be followed. There are alot of health problems with the small yorkies.

I like what you wrote. I have, what I consider to be, a 'tiny'. My little Kia is 4#s. Very tiny body, very tiny bones. She came from a very reputable breeder that does NOT breed for the tinies. I signed, (willingly, happily, gratefully) a spay agreement. I can't imagine breeding this tiny girl.

It's a lot of extra responsibility to have a tiny, and I'm a nervous wreck when anthing medical arises. We almost lost her this past spring to her rabies shot. I never leave her home alone for more than 3 hours tops.

Thanks.

That was uncalled for and unnecessary imo. :(
There are really small chihuahua's and yorkies and trust me...they are all dog!!

How big is Piglet?

Chloe is only 3 pounds and I really hope she gets bigger. She's almost 5 months old so I am hoping for around 5 lbs. at least. She is so so tiny, I could not imagine her having babies. These tiny babies are so delicate...you have to watch them every second...and even then, they can hurt themselves. I did not purchase her thinking she was a tiny...my breeder said she would be about 5 lbs, but I just don't know...she is a very petite little girl!!! Anyway, I am totally against breeding any baby girl under 5 lbs. I know I don't respond to a lot of threads, but this just touches my heart.

You Rock :) I love hearing those kind of statements.

I have two two lb babies. One came out of my 5 lb girl, so we kept her and had her spayed. Luckily she turned out to be fiesty and healthy as the mom. I went looking for a little bf for my sugar and ran across another tiney. Got him for a really fair price. He weighs only 2 lbs and the only thing bad that has happenned to him was my hubby dropped a piece of steak on the floor and he got choked on it, so off to the vet we ran. He was fine and still is. My first yorkie died of kidney failure and she was 2lbs at four month of age. All of these little babies are fragile i think, but for sure I would never breed a dog under 5 lbs. I have bred my little two lb male and had some beautiful pups ranging from 4 to 5.5 lbs. I call the people who buy my babies to see what goes on in my babies lives.I like to know if my babies are ok and that the owner is ok . So far so good:)

I would never breed a female under 5 lbs. even then it would scare me.

Piglet is now 3.6 oz but before breeding she was stable at almost 4 pounds and the vet said she should be fine .. she is but it was too rough on me she was fixed. I and found out how lucky i was she didnt pass away durring anestesia *miss spelling* though like Kathy said even when you breed large yorkies smaller babies are possible Bettys last years litter produced a 2 pound girl and daddy is 6 pounds and so is mom !

I thought this was kind of funny. Clearly she is being facetious.

Man, I would have thought that after making 5912 posts that would be obvious to you.

You and me both!!

To be honest, when I was looking for Coco, I PURPOSELY looked for tiny yorkie. I didn't know much when I started my search but I got a ton of information from the YTCA folks and other breeders that I had extensive conversations with. I understood the health risks, and was ready to handle it if need be. Yorkies, I agree, are already tiny and small but I think we don't quite realize how small 3lbs is. When I got Coco that first day, my jaw dropped. She was like in MY PALM. I didn't think she'd be that tiny. I took great care but was super careful and sometimes scared. Personally I think that these dogs are small enough and having a tiny myself, sometimes it's scary the kind of troubles these little runts can get into. While I have never had any health problems (knocking on wood) with Coco and her size not even hypoglycemia, encouraging breeding for tinies allows many irresposible people to join in for the money. So no I don't think they should breed yorkies to make tinies. Sometimes you get tinies anyway, even if it's not the intention, why not just leave it at that? I don't like the idea of a poor small female being put through that horrible ordeal. BUT I DO LOVE MY TINY GIRL, SHE'S MY WORLD AND SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A RAT. :p
