The AKA standard weight for a yorkie is between 4 and 7 pounds. I'm sure you can find other posts on here about the "teacup" thing but she should want to go to a reputable breeder who has a contract and health guarantee for the puppies they sell. Good luck to her and good luck to you on attempting to educate her! |
Thanks for the info. This breeder she said she knows and trusts. I don't know anything about the breeder she's referring to. We didn't talk much on it. I think she's having second thoughts about getting a dog altogether because she now knows how much attention she needs to put towards a puppy let along a yorkie. Mya loves attention. I couldn't imagine being gone from home all day without her. It's a horrible thought. She's my sister-n-law. My brother wants a pitbull though... as well my hubby but I don't think so. Not around my Mya.
I don't dislike big dogs but I rather stick to small dogs.
