 2-pounder vs. a 4-pounder?
Hello,
I'm in touch w/ a very, very reputable breeder who happens to have a little guy available from one of her litters (she doesn't "breed for tinies"). He will probably max out at 2-2.5 pounds, but is proving to already be very hardy/sturdy/healthy at 15 weeks. He's a spitfire. He's eating dry, did perfect on his 1st shots (she was worried). She's willing to consider me as an owner since I'm a nurse, we don't have kids, and I'm measuring all the pros/cons in owning such a little guy.
She has another litter that'll result in some 4 pounders. I currently have a 7 pound guy and am well aware of all the potential hazards of an even smaller guy. I've done a lot of research (much on here, of course!) on tinier yorkies.
SO, question is: is there a real tangible difference in owning a 2 vs. 4 pound baby? What do I need to truly consider?
MANY thanks to all of you,
