I don't think I will keep one. I don't need another. But just the thought. I have seen some small adults and they are just adorable. If I did keep one, and it got bigger, yes I know they can end up whatever size they want to, but I'd still love him just like I do the rest of my dogs. What do you think I would do? Beat him to death for growing bigger? lol...

Well, I think 7 lbs is quite small for a dog. He was supposed to be smaller due to the size of his parents but it didn't work out that way. These yorkies at 2 or 3 lbs, I haven't seen it, but I can't imagine.. My guess would be that these dogs would be a bit unhealthy and probably not fed too well in the process.

I would never want a small one that I would buy one in that shape or do one that way. I give my dogs some table food with their kibbles for it isn't enough to fill them up. Just like chicken and scrambled eggs sometimes.

Now if one was just naturally that size, that would be great. I would buy one if that was the case.
