| Found my puppy today, too!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy today!!!!!!!!! I had been looking for just the right puppy. I was the one that kept posting about the year old that had ears that don't stand up. Anyway, my little weekly hometown paper came out yesterday and lo and behold!!!!!!!! There were AKC Yorkies in it just twenty minutes from my home. I paid my deposit today. He is six weeks old and perfect in every way. One of his ears about half way goes down sometimes but is usually up so the breeder was shaving it today and taping it. The breeder had two litters and all the ears are up. Even on the three week old ones. His mom is two and a half pounds and his dad is three or three and a half pounds. he is expected to mature at about three pounds. He looks like a little teddy bear. I wish I could have brought him home today but she wants to keep him until eight or ten weeks, probably ten, because he is so tiny. He also comes with a health guarantee. This breeder just moved to my area from Ohio and seems to really know her stuff. he is just what I wanted. Did I already say I am sooooo happy. I took pictures of him but don't know how to resize and post but when i figure it out, I will post his pictures. Oh, BTW, did I already say I am sooooo happy!!!!!!!!!! |

| CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm sooo jealous!!! I'm sure you will have a wonderful life together. I'm also concerned about the dams weight. I thought the female had to be past a certain weight for her to be considered for breeding.

| found my puppy No, not a misprint!!!!!!!! She is two and a half pounds. The breeder had several and none were over three pounds (females) and males were three and then one was three and a half. I know a lot of people do not bred them at this weight but apparently she has been doing it for several years with no problems. my little guy came from a litter of four and the other male she had left was even smaller than mine. She had one male full grown that weighed just a little under two pounds. She carries him around. I completely trust this breeder. I wish you all could have seen her set-up and the yorkies are very well taken care of. it was just awesome to see. The other local yorkies I had looked at were nothing like these. She gave me all kinds of contracts and papers. I paid 850. for him I have not decided on a name yet but am kind of leaning toward "Rambo". Any suggestions!!!!!!!!!! I also have to get busy preparing his nursery. I am so excited. I feel just like I did when I was awaiting the arrival of my first grandchild. I will post pictures when I figure it all out. I tried awhile ago but couldn't seem to do it. |

| Congratulations! What a wonderful time you will have with him. I also got a nursery ready for Snoodles when I got her. It is such an exciting time. Personally I would be scared to death to breed such a small dog, but it seems to be going good for her. These tinies really have to be watched over with loving care. I am like a mother hen when it comes to Snoodles--3#1 oz. But, no one has dropped her yet, as I won't let them pick her up unless they are on the floor. Have a ball! Pat |

| I'm the big black cloud gonna rain on this parade. Anyone breeding 2 1/2 lb dogs should have their head examined. 5lb dogs are easy to carry around too and you don't have to worry about all the awful health risks that are tied to breeding hamster size dogs. I will be willing to bet that the papers you got contain warnings for hypoglycemia...and are there guarantees against collapsing trachea, open fontanels, teeth issues etc..That include a financial reimbursement for vet expenses, not a replacement dog? The only bright spot here is that at least she isn't overcharging. sorry to be a downer. |
