This is the world's yorkie $64,000 pyramid question. I spent extra money this time hoping to get a very petite yorkie. I was told she would be 3-4 lbs. At 20 weeks she is 4 1/2 lbs., which I really have no problem. I was unable to get info on the parents. They can advertise that she will be 4 lbs, but that doesnt really reflect how big she could get. Tia Dalma is 4 1/2 lbs but has a very long body. My past yorkie was like a little 5 lb sack of sugar!!! She's light weight but not as small as I would have expected. At 20 weeks, I am hoping she doesn't get much bigger, OR longer! lol!
