my puppy is really, really tiny! I've been looking for a female puppy for months and she is the only available yorkie if we exclude puppy mills, pet shops, dogs without pedigree and very expensive show class dogs, (I leave in Bulgaria) which are way above my budget. I bought her form a show breeder and both her parents are gorgeous! They are over 5ibs and they have other 5 big male pupps, but her estimated weight is just above 2.5ibs. She's 40 days old now and still with her mom. She'll stay there for another month. I really, really hope that they got it wrong and that she will grow into a big adult (up to 7ibd, I'm not a fan of huge yorkies). I must admit that I am worried;

if she stays tiny she'll really be vulnerable to injuries. I'm sure that she'll be healthy as she wasn't bread to be a "tee cup" but she turned out that way (I know that tee cup does not exist, please don't mind that I've used that expression).

BTW the breeder did not charge me extra for this puppy. They don't rip you off over here. They consider small size to be a defect. I do too, but this puppy was adorable. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her!

Has anyone had a really tiny puppy that grew to a normal size yorkie?

please write back, i'm really hoping to here back form someone who had a similar experience. thanks a lot!
