Wow, this is the sort of replies we use to get when we spoke out against the intentional breeding of tinies. Just because a person urges breeders to breed to standard, and also urge buyers to support those breeders, it doesn't mean that we are jealous or petty. Some of us really love this breed, and want to ensure that there are healthy beautiful examples of the Yorkshire terrier around 100 years from now. In order to protect a breed, you have to look towards the future.

Default Small Dogs-tiny dogs

Sorry, didn't mean to get people riled up.

I do agree that 5-7 lb is small. What can I say, I DO prefer a tiny. I know many out there do too.

I have a 15 lb long hair chihuahua! Never thought he'd get that big! I love him as much as I do my girls. He, however is not as easy to take along with me as the girls are.

If my little one that is 8mos old turns out 5-7 lbs that would be fine. Not likely, since she just reached 2 lbs. My other is 2.2.-5 years old. She Does have health problems, cp actually, Love her anyway. CP, being a birth injury, or injury in the womb.

We would ask that people try to refrain from making remarks about people's spelling/grammar etcetera. Besides the fact it's some sort of a dig toward a person's intelligence, there could also be valid reasons why some people's spelling isn't always spot on (disability, English as 2nd language, etc).

Nor is it expected to be perfect. Thanks all !

I think the puppy looked adorable! Who wouldn't want that little cutie pie?! As for $$ , so what!?! I paid a good price for mine also, not quite that much but probably too much but I'm not upset that I did.

It said she will probably be 3-4lbs. What's so tiny about that? That is a nice size dog.

Get over it everyone....there are MANY tinies out there, they are fine. You just have to have a home that is quiet and safe not with wild children and big dogs. If you want a BIG yorkie have one but don't knock all of us that like a small one!

I don't know how anyone could look at that picture and say there is nothing wrong with it -- either as Concretegurl suggested, it is a stuffed toy or it is an extremely dehydrated pup with problems. If this is to be any sort of educational forum at all, people need to beware of this "look" -- it is not the look of a healthy puppy! Anyone supporting that sort of breeding, does not have the dog's interest at heart.

HA! Multiple Posting feature DOES work. Still cannot QUOTE in reply for one at a time, but I can use the Multiple Quote button and it works for me!

Please do NOT include me in any support in the downsizing of any breed I spent 5 years looking for the perfect TEAPOT sized Yorkie...my comment was about color being included based on the continual issues some people take against Partis and constantly snide remarks...I think that when a dog is born a runt or small that's how they are born, but I have always openly discouraged the UNNATURAL downsizing of any breed, so i really take offense to the correlation of my comments to your statement trying to twist it as such. Color doesn't affect health, breeding a dog too small does-so obvious, such a low blow to try to make a ridiculous point.

So do not assume to use my comments in such a way please. BTW this is YT is it not? Or is this YTCA's bulletin board...it's becoming confusing with all the constant snide remarks...some of us love Yorkie's so much we love them in all natural forms-even Parti coloration.

I had no idea that there were any Teacup Yorkies? What is a Teacup? I beleive their is just the standard bred Yorkie...bred to standard by those wishing to keep the Yorkie as it is.

I wish it could be written off as being most likely a stuffed animal. But the looks are suspicously similiar to the poorly bred, off standard pups you see on sites like Luxpups, too.

On a good day Buster is five pounds. It is a challenge to keep him safe and well. Maggie is between 6-7 pounds, it is a challenge to keep her safe! To me, they are both tiny. At my house, we have shoes bigger than both of them! I can't imagine them being any smaller.

It was your comment saying others are just jealous. I think that was rather snide.

If I do say so, I think YOU are the one taking things out of context. I did not get that Rhetts_mama was insinuating parti's at all in her original standards post. I assumed it was in reference to tinies because that was the original topic of the thread. YOU insinuated that all on your own. Maybe you are being too defensive and you could take a second and just calm down a little?

Default Sometimes breeders produce too small and too BIG!

Hi all!
Just adding my input to this thread...
My yorkie is considered a Biewer and definitely considered "out of standard".
I wanted a yorkie adult companion dog and I was 'counting' on the fact that many times breeders will produce a yorkie that is out of standard or... they retire an adult male or female that is 3 years old or older. I actually was not seeking a "Biewer" - but Tyke fit the criteria I was working with as he is an adult and very much on the 'large' side. He will be neutered next week and I am certain that he will greatly compliment my life as my sweetie companion!
There are many people seeking an out of standard companion and thus there will always be yorkies that are too big. Unfortunately, it seems that the teeny tiny dogs have become way too popular and so we have the tiniest - previously unheard of - "tea cup" size dogs available now. If someone can offer a safe environment where the teeny dog can happily live - I don't see why it should concern anyone else if the dog is extremely small.
Just my humble view here.
Sondesara and Tyke

Again, it's not the size of the dog that is the problem. The problem is greeders purposely breeding for them to turn a profit.

Personally to me it looks very cute but not real. If you look at the eyes they just don't look real. Maybe I'm wrong but I agree with the others who said it's not real and someone looking to scam people.
