Hi. I have two, a 7lb female and a 3lb female. I know there are breeders out there who specialize in small yorkies but when I was looking, the breeders I talked to would not guarantee the size. Chloe's parents were both under 4 lbs and she is bigger, so I don't think you can depend on just the parents sizes, go as far down the breedline as you can. At first I was disappointed that Chloe was going to be bigger but she's really a great dog and I can take her and Lacey, my tiny just about anywhere without a lot of problems. Lacey, the tiny, had more issues with hypoglycemia, actually Chloe never did have some of the health issues of a tiny. So, there are a lot of considerations, plus some huge differences in price. I understand some of the puppy stores and even some breeders just breed down to get the in demand tiny yorkie but in doing so, the pet might be sick a lot and not live as long. People on this site know a lot more than I do about it, but this is just my opinion. |
