I'm not a breeder, this is just my opinion... I'm interested to hear what breeders have to say.

I bought my little guy recently and his parents were 4.5-5lbs, and Harley was not the runt of the litter, and is only 3lbs at 9 months and fairly fragile despite the fact that his brothers and sisters have all out grown him. (Mind you he's hyper and active, but still very small) So even if you do find a sturdy line, there is no guarentee. My breeder wouldn't sell me Harley's brother even if I wanted him because he was 2oz at birth (harley was 4oz) and told me I was better to take the bigger boy.... So I did, Harley's baby brother is now 5-6lbs already, he's a porkie yorkie! Harley is sleek and tiny...

Just my opinion, good luck, and I'm interested in hearing what others have to say, I'd like to know how to get a sturdier one too, if we buy harley a roommate he's going to have to be sturdy enough to keep up with him. lol
