My Chino is 5.6 lbs and we swear he is part cat. He jumps off of everything, including stairs leading to downstairs. I about had a heart attack this last time when he jump clear over five stairs and landed on the bottom. So even us with the normal size yorkies have to watch our babies. I just could not handle below the standard yorkie, I would be a nervous wreck everyday.
Price I believe is really up to the breeder, I have seen some normal size yorkies cost just as much as the tiny babies. But I have also seen some breeders swear their "tiny babies" will stay tiny when they already have become a certain weight (2lbs @6 weeks) when both parents are 7-10 lbs. So I would do my homework prior to buying into the tiny craze if that is the route you decide to go.
Good Luck |
