I'd also say health is a bigger issue than size and I'd prefer one bigger and healthy rather than tiny and not.
I've had yorkie a long time first one came into my life over 30 years ago and she was 6lbs.
the 2nd yorkie sally was adopted into our family a few years after when a friend of my moms at work said she and her brother needed a home because the couple had a baby and couldn't care for them.
Turns out our first experience with rescue that husband i hate to say shouldn't have had children by the way he abused those poor dogs for barking.
Sally was 4lbs.
My mom took in another rescue later in life and he was 11lbs.
My binky was larger as well at 10lbs and the sweetest little doll.
If I was to get a puppy I'd be actually looking for one that would at least hit 5lbs versus teenie.
I won't be taking that route because I took in a rescue she's 3.6lbs at 4 years old and her tiny size scares me to death she's so fast. I'm always looking down to see where she is before I take a step.
to give you an idea on how tiny she is about 12inches tall from the floor to the top of her head and her length is almost 12 inches from the tip of her nose.
I am adjusting to her tiny size but I find myself 1000x more protective of her and my nerves are besting tested to the limit.
My son is 17 and like a bull in a china shop when he's in the kitchen and unlike my other yorkie she is curious about him and always wanting to be friends.
he's been around yorkies but I'm always telling him watch the baby make sure you don't step on her
best of luck with your new addition you will love her no matter what trust me on that one |
