I still worry so much about him and am always worried that he will get caught underfoot and get hurt, I mean, a large book falling off the bookshelf could do this dog in and that is not a joke. Breeding a dog for this size and then asking such prices, to me, is unethical.
Hey Gerry!

Until you said this, I didn't realize that Cooper was 1.6# when we got him at 9 weeks and at 7 months is now 3.3#. I cannot imagine a fullgrown yorkie at 1.6# either!!! While Cooper and Carter are only .1# different in weight, Cooper looks much smaller than Carter. He isn't as long in length but is the same height. I'm really hoping that he puts on more weight but usually by 7 or 8 months, they are done growing.
