Sure Villette.

I was looking for a Yorkie for about a year, and decided against a puppy. I had interviewed two breeders.

About three months later one of the breeders told me she was going to retire her almost three year young Yorkie. Reason being is that she just had her second litter in January, and had a rough
time. Two of her five puppies died, and the breeder did not want to risk the life of her adult girl. Sadie weighs 5 1/2 lbs. I believe this is why tiny Yorkies should not have litters. It is difficult enough for average size Yorkies.

She is healthy and happy, and I love her so much.

She grew up on a farm with cows, horses, and lots of puppies plus a St. Bernard, and the breeder's two grandchildren were always at this home. She adores children.

Can you believe this? All of these critters/people lived in a 800 sq. ft. home.

Anyway, I got very lucky.

Happy New Year everyone.

Kate
