| What Do You Think of This Puppy? I've have been looking for a sister/playmate for Sadie for many months. Here are a couple of pictures of a female puppy that my breeder has available and thinks would be a good match for Sadie. I'm planning on going up to see her this coming weekend (and of course bringing Sadie with me so she can give me her opinion too - ). She is 10 weeks old and weighs approximately 2 lbs 5 ounces. Sadie is 14 months old and weighs about 4 pounds. The breeder thinks this puppy will wind up weighing about 5 pounds, but based on the weight chart, I'm afraid that she will be more like 6 pounds as an adult and may be too big for Sadie to safely play with. What do you all think?? I desperately need your opinions!! Thanks!

| The puppy is adorable! I wouldn't worry much about the 2lb difference - yorkies are pretty tough no matter what their size and a 6lb dog is still very small. Lacy is 7lbs and plays with a couple of 3lb yorkies every day at work.

| He is very cute! I hope you have a nice visit! I think his size will be fine. In my house, we have a variety: 2.5 pounder, 5 pounder, 8 pounder and 80 pounder. Everyone plays and everyone is fine I do have to tell the big guy to settle down occasionally as he forgets he is not a small dog too. And sometimes I have to tell the little guy to leave the big guy alone as he likes to kiss on him incessantly , other than that, we do just fine. |

| I think she's reallly cute, and if she has a good disposition I'd go for it.

| My breeder says she's very outgoing and playful - which is good because so is Sadie. Can't wait to see her this weekend!!!

| She's precious! I wouldn't worry too much about the size difference, Luna is 3lbs and Izzy is at least 7lbs, and Luna can kick Izzy's behind

| I think she is a beautiful little girl....such expressive eyes. I wouldn't worry about her being a little bigger...since Sadie is the older one she will keep the little one in check (or at least try)..haha....the puppy will learn her boundaries with her. I am excited for you! |

| Betty is about 10 lbs and little Juju is less than 3 so far. AND Betty can get a little rough at times. But, Juju is smart...she runs under or behind things that Betty can't get to!! LOL!!! Juju will run out, wrestle with Betty for a few seconds, then run back into her sanctuary!! HAHAHA. Betty gets so annoyed and barks at her!

| I wouldn't worry about the weight difference. I have a 5 lb. female and a 1.3 lb. male right now and they goof around, but are never dangerous. I don't know how picky you are, but I noticed its ears aren't standing up. That might not be important to you, but just noting. Let us know what you decide and good luck!
