My Sugar weighs 3 pounds (on a good day) She just turned 3 years old last week
Very small dogs DO have additional risks. you have to be very careful that they don't jump on/off furniture because she could easily break her little leg and it is very hard on her joints.
I have to watch that not only do I give her the correct amount of kibble....but that she EATS it
We don't want any low blood sugar issues.
I love to walk....she is too small to walk far so if I take her with me I end up carrying her
Not a problem for me but if you are looking for a dog to keep up with you....probably not a good option. She does like to ride in her basket on my bike though
The smaller they are the more prone they are to illness. Do you have small children? Other large pets? Teens or Husbands with big feet who forget to look down?
If these little babies are given a shoe ride into a wall....they CAN and DO die!
That being said.....I love my little girl and since I only have her at home she fits my needs perfectly
You need to consider your motive for wanting a small Yorkie.
