When I began my research into the breed, I had no idea how small a 5 lb Yorkie was. I think it's difficult for people to scale the actual size of the dog by the weight, unless they are more familiar with the breed. I loved the look of the breed too, and actually learned alot on this site before I found Trixie. The breeder said she would probably be under 5 lbs, and I was hoping for a bit larger, for health reasons. I am very happy that she's now just over 4 lbs and is 6 months, so I expect she will reach 5 lbs (yea!).
I agree that someone looking for a very very small dog will not necessarily make a good home. They're most likely looking for an accessory.
I was looking for a sweet lapdog! (yes I dress her and take her places too...can't resist as she's such a great companion).
Hang in there with the good new home search. They'll come along.
