My little man is 3lbs at 15 weeks, and we are looking forward to some growing... I hope he'll end up at least at 5lbs, but to be honest, when we were first searching for puppies, we wanted one who would be closer to 10lbs when full-grown.
I'm used to dogs that are more like 15-20lbs, and that's still a nice lapdog size if you ask me. I'm worried all the time about my little one now... for example, one of the many reasons I don't want Nikko to sleep in the bed with us is because our bed is up on a wrought iron frame. If he jumped off, it would be scary enough, and he would probably hurt himself. But if he accidentally fell off... uggh. It's pretty high up! Already when he jumps just from my lap to the floor when I'm sitting on the ground, his chin has a tendency to plant into the floor because his butt flies up in the air. I'm sure he'll grow more coordinated as he gets older, lol. But still...
Just another quick note about bigger yorkies... they have bigger bladders too. :-) Be sure to check out all the threads about housebreaking!
