Im purchasing a Yorkshire terrier puppy from a lady I found on the AKC website, she told me that "my puppy" will be around 3lbs full grown [saying she's a miniature yorkie]. Is that healthy? I read online that there's no such think as "teacup" dogs, and they are little because they are premature. I also read that they don't live long because of it. Should I be concerned about my puppy's health? are 3lb full grown dogs premature? Does anyone here have a "miniature" Yorkie that weighs less than 3lb and it's healthy?

thank you so much
