When I first looked for a Yorkie, I wanted a very small dog. But when I called about our Sophie, the owners said the parents were a little larger, never telling me their exact weight. We met them and fell in love right away. The parents were beautiful, looked perfect, but were not purse size. They were active, healthy little guys who liked to play outdoors and be part of the family. Sophie would be at a perfect weight at 7 lbs, but she loves to eat and is slightly over that. She is also very active and loves the outdoors. She has very fine bones, and I would be afraid to have such an active little dog that was much smaller. She is the perfect size. She is nearly 10, and my husband and I are in our late 50's-no children in the home. However, we are now getting our first grandbabies, and I am happy that our furbaby is not extremely delicate. I hope that you enjoy your baby what ever size it is. I fell in love the minute I took Sophie home, and I am even more in love with her today!
