Truth to tell, we wanted a little bit larger yorkie because I have a 15 lb Westie at home AND a teen-age son that didn't want a tiny fragile little fluffball.

Lucy didn't get quite as large as we wanted; of course, we love her to pieces anyway and no matter what the size ~ large or small.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that a little bit bigger pup could be a good thing and not be quite as fragile and needy (sorry sweet Lucy) as the tinies.

I'm sure you've read by now that it's best if they can stay with their Mom's and littermates until 12 weeks old.

Best of luck with your puppy.
