I had a yorkie for about 5 years. I was told her parents weighed 41/2lbs dad, and mom 51/2lbs. At the time i had zero experience with yorkies. In fact i met the breeder in a parking lot (big mistake) and bought the yorkie puppy on the spot.
I wanted a 4 or 5 pound yorkie at the time. She was precious and we loved her from the start. However she grew to 9 pounds!!! About 2 months ago she died from liver cancer and everyone in our family was just devastated. After much thought i decided to buy another one. But this time however i would do my homework. I really wanted to find a reputable breeder that i could trust to tell me the truth. I got this breeders name from someone i felt to be reliable and went to visit her yorkies. I felt funny asking her to weigh her but i'm pretty sure she doesn't weigh 4 pounds. I'm used to my 9 pound yorkie and i know she's much smaller than that. I just think that 1 lb at 4 weeks is pretty big. She is asking 700.00 for females and 600.00 for males. I paid 400 for my first yorkie 5 years ago. The price ranges i have found in my area are from 500 to 1200 of course depending on size.
