to the op-


I went to a Crufts show breeder and she offered me the smallest dog after asking me what was important to me ie gender, size etc.


I told her that I didn't care what size my Yorkie ended up - I just wanted HIM to be happy and healthy.


He is now 11 months and 3lbs 12oz (as of yesterday). I don't know how he compares to his siblings as I didn't ask. His brothers/sisters were sold and he was the last one running around with his mom, dad, aunt and uncle. So, I'm not sure if he's a "runt" or just small as most Yorkies are "small" compared to other breeds.


I would have to say that, if you are truly looking for a pet, and not a vessel by which to show off to friends/family i.e. "look at my mini dog", you will research the breed and the breeder and the best sized dog will usually find you.


That's just my take...I'm glad I have Teddy - I just hate his cotton fur! lol! But I wouldn't trade him for the world.
