Yorkies are a toy breed and there is only one "official" size and that's anything under 7 pounds. If you're girlfriend wants a smaller dog, she should be aware that if you go for a dog under 4 pounds, it will probably have more problems and certainly need more care. Especially, teeth are bad, in the micro sizes. Remember, all Yorkie puppies are small, so it's not unusual for a byb breeder to lie about adult weight, only good breeders have a good idea what the adult weight will be because they know the lines from 5 generations and more. Even then, there are surprises. Size is just one part of a yorkie, so many other qualities they should have and having a healthy yorkie can save you a ton of money. |
