Let me tell you....they are small and I worry about them getting hurt all the time. I couldn't imagine having one smaller (although I know there are members here that do). I would be a nervous wreck having an animal that small. And no good breeder will ever guarantee the weight of a pup. Just be careful and good luck in your search. |
I have a smaller one for now (I hope
) 2.1lbs at 13 weeks and I'm always a nervous wreck. At his first vet appointment my vet made me feel each and every bone in his body to make me more aware of the dangers of him jumping off the couch, stepping on him, etc.
It also doesnt help that he loves to go for the toes
whenever you walk. I have to make sure that nobody is going to be walking around the house if he is on the floor playing because I dont want to risk anything, with someone getting up and him making a dash for the feet.
If I had a bigger yorkie then I def wouldnt be as paranoid.
