I was just curious what some more experienced Yorkie owners have to say about this. How much do your Yorkies weigh? |
I have a 3-4lbs female that is a year old, a 2.3lbs female that is 6 1/2 months old and a male baby that is 1.6lbs at 10weeks old. My smallest is AKC registered @ 1.6lbs.
When I bring my 2.3lbs to the pet store people are in awe with her! She is so brave & has no fear of the bigger dogs and is very friendly.
Small yorkies rock. I also have an 8lbs male that I gave to my brother as a Christmas present. He has 4 huge dogs and wanted one that was bigger. It all depends on your lifestyle.
Good luck with your search.
BTW...they are healthy and very energetic and don't need special food or syrup.
