It is wonderful that you have found a puppy. How very exciting! But please be careful. I searched high and low to find the perfect puppy. I found her and the breeder said she would be 3.3 to 4.5 lbs grown. She is now 5.5 months old and only weighs 2.3 lbs. She will probably not reach 3lbs. Right after we got her she fell off our back porch and broke 3 bones in her foot. I came to find out after I adopted her that the little yorkies have very fragile bones. We have to be extremely careful with her. The fall was not that bad but she is so small it didn't take much. I was heart broken when it happened and wish someone would have told me before, ow very very fragile she would be. She is very healthy,just small. If the mother of your pups is really 2.5lbs and dad 3, your puppy will be very very small. I don't figure she will get to 2lbs, but you never know. I was told after I got my Fiona that 4.5 was too small to breed a dog and that is what her mother weighed. Dad was 4lbs. I am not sure what the breeder was thinking when they bred a little girl that small, maybe it was an accident but anyway I wish someone had warned me. Just please be careful. Yorkies are wonderful dogs but with the really little ones they require so much more attention to keep them safe. There are so many stories on here about broken bones and other horrible things that happened to little yorkies who had wonderful parents. It can happen so fast. Not to mention the heartbreak and cost. I hope this doesn't still the fun, just wanted to tell you what I wasn't told!
Hope this is a wonderful day for you and good luck!!
