i used to have german shepherds and thought no way would i ever have one of those tiny little yorkies UNTIL i met them face to face on a beach in RI. i fell in love.
we ended up getting a yorkie named Kiva whose weight fluctuated between 8-9 lbs. let me tell you she was by no means fragile.
she did die last oct and i found myself unable to go on without a yorkie.
i ended up getting another yorkie puppy in March and even though she is just 4 lbs i don't think of her as small....her personality tells me otherwise. in fact i feel more protected & safer with yorkies than i ever did with german shepherds.
i have to admit that the breeder estimated her to be about 6 lbs full grown. i'm secretly hoping she'll be Kiva's size. but if she isn't i'll still love her just as much....and still feel just as safe.
also my husband is hoping she'll be smaller...lol
what i'm trying to say is Yorkies are tough little dogs in spite of their size.....
