At his 12 week appt, he was 6 pounds and was SO small to me so I really can't imagine having one much smaller for it's whole life. Jackson is a very study little guy, he can jump up and down my bed, the couches, etc and he's absolutely fine. He can easily play with the neighbors Bulldog, the Golden Retriever next door, etc. I don't know, it's just hard for me to imagine caring for a 2 or 3 pound dog for the rest of it's life. |
When I was looking for a yorkie pup I had no idea they came in a variety of sizes , a bit like shoes lol, so when I found the advertisment it said £450.oo but on arrival and after cuddling the pup she added an extra £100.00 on top because she was tiny! My first thought was shouldnt the smallest, ie: the runt of the litter be cheaper not dearer .Well Id fell in love with her by then so I had to pay it. I didn't care if she was bigger , it was the personality of the breed I was after not the size.
