| Thank you for reading it, Pam. It was long, but I truly wanted to share my experience with "tiny" Yorkies. I don't recommend them, for anyone with a busy lifestyle. They need constant watching, and when we had our tiny Tiffany-she was not allowed to be alone with my son when he had friends over. But, with my son-I never, ever had to worry about her getting hurt. He was an "only human child" and he considered her his baby sister, and he watched over her, like a big brother. I was so very fortunate, that her breeder had grown up an only child, and had taken the time, to observe my son with his Yorkies. Sheila |

| Yes thank you for sharing. We have a 3 lb girl, our Kyra and she has been really healthy so far. She is now almost a year and 7 months. Your story gives me hope that we will have her in our lives for many years to come.

Just take good care of your little girl. My best advice with a "tiny" is never, ever, wait to take them to the Vet, if you feel anything is wrong. Always trust your instinct. A "tiny" can't wait to be seen. I hope your little girl lives a very long, happy, healthy life. Sheila | |

Thank you-I was happy to share my story about my two "tinies". I was very grateful to my 1st breeder, for trusting me with a tiny. We stayed in touch, all of her life. I used to take her over to visit, and he taught me how to "Show" groom, because I kept her in full coat. I can understand, breeders being very selective about where they place their tinies, but, as you said, they should look at individual situations. I know, with Tiffany, my breeder had the opportunity to observe my son for months, before he ever told me that he would place a puppy with me. When I got Sydney, I didn't care what she was going to end up weighing as an adult. She weighed 6.5#s and she was stunning! I miss my girls, more than words can say. | |

| Not everyone who wants a smaller yorkie is uneducated about them. Miley is GUESSED to be around 4.5lbs fully grown. Knowing this, I wanted her more than bigger Yorkies. I mean if she turns out to be more than that that's not a problem. I'm not sure if the OP is new but all they wanted was guidance to a breeder. I know we can be overbearing sometimes and over opinionated when it comes to tiny Yorkies. Standard is under 7lbs from my research. Not all tiny Yorkies are unhealthy!

| Jeane, I love them all! But, now with MS-if and when I get another, she will have to be a "tiny" from a reputable Show breeder. But my Sydney, was 6.5#s and she was my "Heart & Soul" Yorkie. I wouldn't have traded her for any Yorkie in the world! I have a very, very dear friend, that lives in Oregon. We met many years ago, on a Yorkie Group. My tiny 4# Kia and her Jigzey were both born in December of 1998. Her beautiful Jizgey weighed 18#s. And yes, she was a pure bred Yorkie, and oh-so-beautiful!!! We lost our girls, less than two months apart. So, we have been grieving, together. Sheila |

You are exactly right. Many of us are very well educated about the smaller Yorkies. I was so blessed, to have two tinies in my life, from reputable Show breeders. I was also so very fortunate, that my 1st Yorkies breeder, spent a lot of time with me. He was and still is a wonderful Show breeder. Although, now he shows the Japanese Chin. He is such a wonderful man, that when I called him to tell him about Tiffany's death, he wanted to give me a Japanese Chin puppy. But, my heart beats.....Yorkie. So, I learned so much in regards to caring for my tiny girl from him. The "tinies" that are unhealthy are the ones that come from BYB's and the puppy-mills. So, when a new member inquires about where to find a small Yorkie, I feel, the best way anyone can help is to make sure to guide them in the direction of reputable Show breeders. And from there, the breeder, determines if they are a home, they feel safe to place a tiny. Sheila | |

Thank you. Some of us need a "tiny", but, we must always caution anyone looking for a "tiny" never to refer to them as a "teacup", because a reputable Show breeder, would hang up the phone, if someone called, inquiring about a "teacup". No such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie. That is a term used by BYB's and puppy-miller's to sell tiny Yorkies, and charge sky-high prices! People would be surprised to know, that BYB's and puppy-miller's charge higher prices than reputable Show breeders. Sheila | |
