So..

After I had a little party a while ago and everyone saw all three of my furbabes... A friend of mine has decided she wants a Yorkie.

I had already told her the myth about teacups and how she should be careful of those breeders who sell them and want like $3000 for them.

I told her a few things about the standard yorkie. I had mentioned to her that My Ginger is 7 lbs. And she was like OMG she's way to big.. i want a teeny tiny one like 2 lbs.

For the life of me..i couldn't find anything online at the moment to show her all the problems in getting a small one. Vet bills, how they need more attention than regular doggies (she already has one but she says it's too calm for her)

Can anyone who has really small yorkies, give me some advice to give to my friend. Personally I don't think she can handle having a yorkie, let alone have a really small one. I don't really know how to explain it, but because I know her.. I just know that she wouldn't be able to take care of a really small one.

Maybe if anyone has some input that I could give her.. or something that'd be great. because I don't want her to end up buying one and then just leaving the dog at home or something...

thanks in advanced!
