Hello everybody! So after a ton of breeder researching I recently picked out a little girl. I saw my little girl on Friday and she was 5 days old weighing a little under 4 oz. I loved her parents looks and dispositions and felt very comfortable with the breeder. She was the runt of the litter by 2 oz . I just fell in love with her when I held her, and she even stopped crying when I would pet her.
I put my deposit on her and was satisfied. I know a family that has 5 generations of her dogs and her lines have been tested and do not carry any genetic issues. However, all I keep hearing from people is that she is much too small and will be sickly. Now I have seen on here that the runt can often outgrow her littermates and is often healthy but I wanted to ask anyone what they thought an average size of a 5 day yorkie was. I know it varies a lot but if i could just get a guesstimate it would be much appreciated, and no i am not trying to get a little tiny dog, I know that the designer terms are marketing ploys only. I would much rather her be healthy then tiny, but I would like to carry her around with me. I just really adore this little girl and her little white chest patch.
I am so excited. She's only 8 days today and I have almost everything for her already. Any opinions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
