When we got our yorkie she was about 10 weeks and 3lbs. The vet even said she wouldn't be bigger than about 7lbs but here she is, 14.4lbs. Her parents were both smaller than standard at 5 and 6lbs. She has nice upright ears and a gorgeous coat when I grow it. My daughter picked the breed and I never really gave size a thought but I walk her 1 to 1.5miles a day and she loves to play fetch and she's very sturdy. Now that I accidentally have a larger girl I would probably look for that in the future again so I hope they don't disappear
