I have a 2.5lb male. I really wanted a smaller yorkie to take with me when traveling. Then after much research and discussions with breeders, I decided 5lbs was still really small and would rather enjoy my puppy than spend my days in the vet's office. Well, guess what? I ended up with a smaller one unbeknownst to me. At 6 months he was slightly over 2 lbs and his other 4 litter mates were all 3.5 lbs. You just never know (and no he was not the runt of the litter - he actually weighed 1oz more than the tiniest at birth).
He's had a hypoglycemia incident, double teeth, and jumps like a monkey on & off everything (how do you get them to stop that?....we've tried everything....he is so quick). We have a ramp over the stairs, we made special small steps up to the bed, etc. He is the most awesome loving puppy ever. He runs longer and faster than me (take him for walks and he can run almost a whole mile)! Have had numerous scares and stresses worrying about his small size and health but so far all the worry for naught. I love him, love him, love him!
