Very good suggestion! However, when Yorkie's are puppies, it is extremely difficult to predict the adult size of a yorkie . It is a guessing game. Sometimes, it is accurate, other times, not. Even the weight charts are not the best indicaters. Keep this in mind . 7lbs adult size is stil a little dog. IMO anything over 10 LBS would be considered a teapot. I still believe there are no garuntees on sizes. It may be easier to look into rescue groups. You would know how big your Yorkie is then .
