I'm kind of in the same boat though not as bad. My baby is 4 months and 2.2 pounds. I wanted a yorkie and one on the small side but not one that will most likely be 3.5 to 4 pounds as an adult! As most of you know I love her to death and she is as healthy as you can get! We must have spent the better part of 2 hours outside today and she still has energy. I got Sheila at 8 weeks and she was tiny. Just look out for her and follow yorkierose's advice.
YorkieRose, I just want to say thank you for being a part of yorkietalk. Having a reputable breeder as a part of these boards helps so much! I know you speak your mind and it is appreciated. Me, I know dogs but not like you at all. I only say that because I grew up with my mother very involved in the show circuit (show doggie midwife if you will for the kennel club).
She was a registered nurse that did the float shift (trained to work anywhere in the hospital) . She raised 4 kids with no dad and helped her best friend (rest in peace
) run a kennel of one of the top SLD'd (Standard long haired dachshunds) and PBGV's (Petits Bassets Griffons Vendeen's) in North America.
I guess what I'm saying is I know how much work it is and thank you for your advice. Your words are never harsh. You are breeder that loves and cares for its breed and the maintaining the standard. Thank youi and I hope we get more responsable breeders like you to join the site
PS- my mother has a yorkie, an Irish Setter and a dachsie right now
