I did alot of reading and checking also. Most of the things I was reading about liver shunts, broken bones, surgeries, on and on and on....I bought Roxy from a woman who had one yorkie male and decided she didn't want a female. I went to her house and talked with her and met Roxy. It was love at first site. She was 4 lbs when I got her and at 5mts old seemed pretty shy. However, she rode home in my jacket and she has been there ever since. I just had her spayed to the tune of almost $400 and her shots. She jumped on the couch after I brought her home and slept. She recooped fantastic and fast. She handled her shots great and is full of Hell most of the time. I do have a tendency to watch over her more than any of my other dogs I have had. She is a wee one. The vet said she is in great health. I think most of the time what we read is the worst things not the best of things. Just take your lil one to the vet and have them checked out. Roxy is now 5lbs and thinks she's 500lbs! lol I think the smaller the dog the more problems you COULD have, not will have. Good luck and welcome!!!
