I know, I know, no such thing, but there are yorkies that are super small out there. I have been serching for he perfect addition to my family and been open to adopting if the right dog came along. I found one at a rescue I think is perfect but she is about 2 years old and just under 3pounds. My current yorkie is 9lbs (about a pound to loose from grandma giving too many cookies) and my bf is worried that it's too much of a size diffrence and that the little one will be too fragile. We have no kids and I think he is just being paranoid but I had never had a dog that small and have some worries. The only health problems she has is a luxating patella but that is getting fixed so I think it'll be ok but I thought some of you on here must have also have "teacup" size yorkies and maybe had some advice.
Thanks!
