I'm anxious to see the pics as well. Has she been tested and evaluated for a medical condition that could be causing her to be so small?

While I know that its not entirely impossible to have a healthy one be this small, I personally have never seen one this small when it wasn't due to a health problem. I have a 10 month old who is 2 lbs but her size is due to hydrocephalus and thyroid problems.

I would recommend you be very selective about her new mommy. For example, I would look for someone who is home most of the time, has no young children or large animals and has prior experience with a very tiny yorkie. Good luck in your search!
