Wow, 3/4 of an ounce is incredibly small!! Do you know how small that is? I have never heard of a yorkie pup being this small. Destiny's two pups were just barely at 3 oz and that is very tiny.
I have even heard of pups being an ounce big although when they are even that small they don't have a great chance of making it. Someone here had a litter not too long ago where they were 2 ounces and 3 ounces and one that was 1 ounce and it didn't make it.

I can't see why she would be accepting deposits on them already. That boy is way too small to have a deposit on. With him being so small, there may be a good chance he won't make it. It is just too young to tell. You have a better chance of putting a deposit on one of his bigger siblings, they should have a better chance of surviving and thriving.

I would not put a deposit on him. If anything, watch him grow and after he has grown some and has a better chance of surviving, then you could put a deposit on him. I would wait to atleast 6 weeks old though.

Good luck with your decision!!
