It's funny - I guess size mattered to me but that's how I ended up being blessed with a Yorkie. I had a 15 year old Shih Tzu that passed away last fall. She was extremely small for a Shih Tzu. She weighed about 6-7 pounds healthy. When I started looking for a new puppy I realized that she was so small. I loved her size because she was so easy to travel with but I didn't want to buy from a breeder that was breeding outside the standard. I read something on-line that said if you really want one that small maybe you should look at a different breed. I had thought about a Yorkie in the past so that's what I started looking at. I wound up with Sadie and she is the light of my life. I think she's going to be about 4 to 4 1/2 pounds but at this point if she were 15 pounds I'd still love her just the same! |
