Have you had a Yorkie before? Usually a good breeder will not release a pup under 2 pounds except to an experienced home. I don't mean to frighten you, but tiny baby Yorkies are very fragile in terms of health and need round the clock care. I want to save you from the heartache that many have suffered when they brought home a tiny puppy. Breeders will often hold onto pups until they reach a certain weight.
