I honestly fell into the same trap when I got HUGO! I was ignorant at the whole teacup idea. I was told he was a "teacup" and would not grow past 7 months. I only wanted a smaller dog as well. However, Hugo is now about 6-7 lbs and still very small! I fell in love with him the instant I met him and if he grew to be 100 lbs, I would still love him! (I will just have to get him a slightly bigger bag!) I am greatful that Hugo is larger than was promised becuase as I have met more yorkie owners with extremely smaller yorkies ( 2 lbs-3 lbs) I have heard of horror stories of vet bills and illness! I am so greatful to have joined this forum and learned so much more about this amazing breed. In the future, I do plan on adopting or purchasing another Yorkie (One can not just have as most of the literature states) and would want a yorkie that is within the breed standards or larger. |
