| 4 month old weighs 12 ounces?! I was browsing on the internet and saw this ad for a little boy yorkie who is 4 months old and weighs 12 ounces. Crazy small. 12 oz Yorkie - Wichita Dogs & Puppies For Sale - Kijiji Wichita, Kansas Check out the ad. The lady says when he grows up he will probably weigh ONE POUND. Give me a break. She is just trying to make a lot of money off that poor little thing. I hope that the person who gets him is KNOWLEDGEABLE when it comes to tiny puppies and the problems that can come with them. He pulls at my heartstrings though. |

| That is waaayy small. I agree, hopefully someone with a lot of experience with Yorkies adopt him. Correct me if I am wrong, but I though very small dogs like listed may be prone to many health problems.

| That's not even the same dog in the 2 pictures, the head and muzzle are shaped totally different. I wonder if she meant to caption the 2nd one the female?? Anyways, that male is cute-but he reminds me of a sick puppy we had come into the clinic that had a liver shunt and wound up dying. I hope whoever buys him is educated with littler pups. |

| Please do not put links It only pushes them up to the top on searches. The person who posted this ad will get an impression that many people are looking & are interested. I noticed there's no price for this tiny guy...she might ask for a ridiculous price. I learned this from megansmomma. Here's the pic instead. I hate pics of puppies on a scale...they're not a piece of meat. She has 2 pups for sale. One male (picture) & one female. oops...hope this doesn't count as stealing pic!

| Sorry I posted the link. My apologies. I sure wouldn't want her to think he's even more valuable because a lot of people looked at the ad. Didn't know that I shouldn't do that. I'm sorry. |

| I would be extremely concerned about helath problems in this little one> He is very fragile. I believe they were bred on purpose for tinines . I do not agree , on this "fad "

| It's not your fault No apologies needed! I didn't know either (& I'm sure alot of other people). There was another thread (Kijiji ad ~ hate these) that got alot of hits from being posted on YT. That lady had the nerve to up the price of her Yorkie cuz it was on top of the searches & alot of people (fm YT) were inquiring about her. Anyhow, megansmomma alerted us that's what was happening & warned not to link these ads & not to buy from backyard breeders.

| Oh.... We are headed back to Wichita in 2 weeks. I wish I could get them both from her, just so they might have a chance. Poor little things....
