OP, did you do research on the breed prior to wanting one? It doesn't seem like it. According to AKC standards, the range is 4-7 pounds. Most are on the higher end, and beyond. Have you owned a toy breed before? It may seem like 5.5 pounds is large, but wait until you have him. Maddy is small at 8.5 pounds. Tiny yorkies tend to have more health issues and you will worry non-stop (well, at least most of us would).
Yorkies were not originally purse dogs... they were ratters and became companions dogs later on. They are not a fashion accesssory. |
