| hello met an adrable baby girl ..... Hello everyone , We went to meet yesterday one of the breeders I was inquiring about and we met the cutest baby girl , but the breeder not sure of letting this one go because for the moment she is too small 10 weeks 1.3 pounds she told me she is one she would love to keep for herself but not sure if she will be a good size ???? so she is waiting out 3-4 more weeks to see how her growth goes if not she will sell her to us we have decided to name her Becky after my bestfriend who pased last year ovarian cancer , so ofcourse i have a question do you guys think by the wight she is now she will grow to breeding potential or show? and she also told me because she is so small she is having a hard time to transition her to eat solid food and she is still with her mom and she would never let her go if she was not eating on her own and no hypoglecimia etc .....we fell inlove Anna xoox |

| Unfortunately, only time will tell. Anything the breeder, or we say is a GUESS at best.

| IMHO, I would be very hesitant buying a tiny Yorkie, as some have health problems that prevent them from growing, or grow slower than their littermates.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | As a breeder I would be doing that too, fortunately I been able to place the small runts that I had with family members, and like your breeder I held on to them for a long time to make sure they were healthy and with no problems, I breed silky terriers, which MOST of the time are bigger than yorkies, but I had some small ones too. if Taken care of them properly some runts play catch up by the time they are 3 or 4 months, some stay small but healthy some have problems due to their position in the uterine horn. Hope your baby catches up and be healthy . best of luck.. Size wise is VERY difficult to predict with a Runt but most of them stay smaller than their litter mates. hugs, |
