when i bought my yorkie she is surposed to be 3 1/2 pounds tops. I did not see the parents and 2 days later after bringing home this beautiful pup i discovered she was covered in ringworm fugus. She was shaved down and she looked like a big sore. I thought I would die. She is now about 12 pounds and is siver. She is very sweet. I am glad she is the one I got. It was fate. camperbee
