Stick with dogs that are not advertised as 'teacups' as they could lead to more health problems and shorter life span. Just buy a Yorkie from a reputable breeder, there are many on this site. AKC states Yorkies are 3-7lbs, I have a 7lb boy and a 13lb boy. I'll tell you 7lbs is tiny for a dog and 13lbs is great. I worry way less about my 13lb boy! He's solid and playful where my 7lb boy needs a lot more attention from me mainly bc I worry so much about him getting hurt that I just end up carrying him all the time, which believe me is not as sweet as it sounds! LOL
