I hope everyone can stand one more comment. I did my best to research and find a small yorkie because I wanted one that I could easily bathe in the sink and carry with me. I went through a ton of research/discussion with breeders, avoided pet stores, etc and my first, Chloe is 6 lbs. I admit, at first I was a little disappointed because I thought for $800, seeing the parents at 4 and 5 lbs, discussion with the breeder and everything I would get a cute, little yorkie. However, when I took her to the vet, she told me she thought my little cutey would be about 7 lbs, but I loved her so I kept her. When I decided on another one, I did the same type of research and even got fussed at because I used the word teacup. I hate to admit how much I paid, $2500 but Lacey is small, 3 lbs, much closer to what I expected. Did the breeders lie, nope, they both said they could not say for sure. Do I love them both, you bet. Would I trade either one, a big no. But I still do not believe I decided based on anything but excitement and love at first sight. They are both worth the money but when I get another one and I will, I would love to know just where and how people pick a tiny yorkie.
