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!!

Kathy, welcome to YT.
Yes, the larger ones sometimes don't get the attention they so
deserve but we as owners know just how special they are.
Your Cooper sounds very much like my Buddy. I do believe the
larger ones are easier to housebreak. Maybe because they have
larger bladders to begin with. Who knows? Just wanted to welcome
you and enjoy this site. Everything in one place
