From everything I've read, it is not wise to buy the really tiny tiny yorkies...I think 4-7 lb. yorkies (full grown) are the best, as they are not as likely to suffer from luxating patella, liver shunt, and fragile bones...Also, for me, I wouldn't want to vaccinate or spay little ones smaller than 4 lbs....But that's just my humble opionion, and I'm certainly not an expert...

Maggie & Apple (4 lbs. 3 oz. @ 6 months)

p.s...I'm totally hoping my apple will reach 5 lbs. at maturity!
