I don't usually post here as I'm somewhat new and just getting started but your post caught my eye. My Cooper is 11lbs with floppy ears. He is a Yorkie thru and thru. The reality is that the Yorkie was not as tiny as they are these days and even though my Coopers sister and brothers were tiny at 3-5lbs. he ended up bigger. I will tell you, I personally prefer it for pratical reasons. Don't get me wrong, I adore the little ones and am always tempted to add to my gang with a tiny, but I also work and when I had my smaller baby 4lbs (she lives w/ my mom now) it was so hard to get the potty thing under control etc. My Cooper is fully potty trained, and even though he may not get the looks/attention that an adorable tiny will get, he is the absolute best dog I've ever had, we have a great bond and I adore him. Now, I've also just added a Biewer to my home recently as well he is 7lbs and will probably top out at 8-9lbs. He is doing great on potty and loves to rough house w/ Cooper and my Golden. I think I would not get a tiny baby until I can go either Part Time or be home all day..Anyways, as all Yorkies are, your Buddy is beautiful!!
