Love "Yorkies Are Like A Box Of Chocolates, You Never Know What You're Going To Get"

It is very difficult to determine their size according to their parents, some breeders tell you they should be no bigger than their dam & sire, but thats not always true... I experienced that with my baby Gizmo, I purchased him as a tiny(teacup), both sire & dam were under 4 lbs, but not Gizmo... He weighs 11.2 lbs, he's beautiful, healthy, very independent, he was tiny until 5 mo old, then he didn't stop... Don't be discouraged, big or small, they're beautiful dogs... I have three, and I'll tell you my first, Nygee's dam was like 7 lbs or so, but Nygee she's 6 lbs, and a porky yorkie, she's tiny, with tiny legs, and a hefty little body, according to her structure she should weigh 3-4 lbs, she's very dependant of me... She loves to be on our bed when we are home, but she can't get onto our bed without my help, as well as our couch, etc. Now, we have a third Gypsy, she's a fireball, she weighs 4 lbs, and is tiny, with the advantage of longer legs... She is very independent as well, she climbs everywhere, there is no stopping her... No matter how big he gets, you will enjoy your little furball...

I love my 3 furbabies, Nygee, Gizmo & Gypsy!
