My daughter was one of the people out there that wanted that little bitty yorkie to sit in her lap, etc, etc. She paid a very high price for her first yorkie with the statement from the breeder that he would be tiny. Well, he's 12 lbs of complete sweetness and love and the best thing she ever did for her kids. The boys can play with him and not fear hurting him. He can stand in there with them any time! They are still careful with him, but not as much as the second one she got. She bought a little girl that was already 1 yr old so she would know what she would be as a grown dog (3.5 lbs). Although she loves her as much as the larger one, she does complain about how much more care her little one needs. With 3 little boys, 2 dogs, and a cat, she has her hands full and just lets the groomer deal with it.
We have a larger female (8.5 lbs) and a smaller male (5 lbs). And as you might guess, our larger Sophie plays with the daughter's larger Chaucey and the 2 smaller dogs (Toby & Maggie) play with each other when we visit. Its really cute to see them pair off like that and play to their hearts' content!
Your yorkie is your love - no matter what anyone else thinks - he's perfect!
