I had a little boy who was 1 lb at 10 weeks and he had a hypoglycemia episode but i have three other tinies and have never had a problem with any of them. I would mak sure the breeder keeps the one you choose until 16 weeks just so you will have an older, less fragile puppy and if there are any health issues they will have been discovered at that point usually.
I do not believe that tinies necessarily have any more health issues than a 5 lb yorkei. They are all susceptible to hypoglycemia, liver shunt, luxating patellas, open fontenelles, etc. I would pick the one who has the personality and temperament you like best if they are both healthy.
I am in California too. Are they from a local breeder?
Good luck. |
