Well , I paid three fifty for my guy and he is AKC registered. I personally think he's just a very well rounded dog. He's had no r eal formal trainning. But he's the best thing ever. Has the best personality and is healthy. He oocassional will throw up, but otherwise is very healthy.
I'm not knocking CKC registered dogs because they too could be very good dogs from reputable breeders. I think alot of people go to that registration because it is cheaper. But my understanding that the AKC breeders do get inspected. ( I think)
But If I understood your post, you were more interested in a smaller yorkie at 4/5 pounds at adult age. My opinnion I'd not worry with a "smaller guy". I think sometimes the smaller they get the "CHANCE" for them to be more sicker and more fragile. This doesn't mean those with guys that small are unhealthy. But I'd aim for what would be "normal average size" I wouldn't really aim to get a smaller than "average" size. Just my thoughts. Feel good about a bigger guy too. :O) |
