| As always, our argument is unethical breeder VS ethical breeder. Reputable breeder VS unscrupulous breeder. It's been said over & over, good breeders will have tinies, not all the time, but it does happen. An experienced breeder knows this, who throws tinies. A healthy 7# female that free whelps (no c-sections) can give birth to a healthy 3 oz pup that will grow to be a healthy 3#'s. It's been frowned upon, those that purposely breed 4# & under females to get tiny puppies. Put the female's life @ risk, repeated c-sections, where their tummy gets hard like a turtle from scar tissue (I've seen this from a retired breeder). Pups are @ a dangerously low weight @ birth, under 2 oz even 1 oz, putting them @ risk. A breeder that puts their dogs' lives @ risk is IMO, practicing animal cruelty. Shame on those people that keep these unethical breeders in business! Shame on them for keeping their eyes closed...all bc they want a tiny accessory to carry around in their designer doggie bags. Paying puppy millers $4000+, do you know they perform c-sections on their females w/out any anesthesia? Unbelievably barbaric, & you still choose to be blind. You also don't hear about all the horror stories of pups born w/cleft palates & dying w/in a few days...it's all over FB. It might seem rare, but it happens all too often. You'd think they would have the decency to spay & neuter the breeding pair...no, they just keep going. Why? Someone that was defending this animal abuser said, 'Well, someone's got to breed so we can have these cute Yorkies!' Ok, rant over whew! Quote:

| Well I dont like it when people give opinions that differ from facts but I cant control how anyone posts and I know that. I will explain my positions though and let the chips fall where they may

| Everyone gives there opinions here that's what a lot of the board is made up of as well as some facts and personal experience thrown in with it. I know a lot of times peoples opinions can differ and some won't like the others opinions but that dosent make them any less valid.

| My guess is that bad breeders have far more health issues in their dogs than responsible breeders...no matter what size. Stands to reason that if you go on a hunt for a tiny yorkie, you are looking for major health issues....research or no research. Just common sense imho.

o·pin·ion əˈpinyən/ noun noun: opinion; plural noun: opinions a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. I know I have given my opinion many times based more on my emotional views based on my experiences up to that point which may not be the truth but might be my truth until I learn otherwise. I will listen to other people and their advice and opinions and then take my time to make my decision based on the knowledge I have and what I feel is best for me at that time. Sometimes it takes more than one thread for people to learn so reposting an opinion when the OP isn't open to listening is like beating your head against a wall.
