MzLynn,
Thank you for your comments and I understand what you are saying. I have no interest in having a yorkie that is less than a standard size and the breeder doesn't have any below standard but could possible have some over the 6-7 pound range. I too have put my toy breeds in another room when hosting parties for 30-75 people. Our yorkie was our daughters playmate since she was 3 and she toted him around like a precious doll. He was our constant companion and travel companion. Looking back over photos I was tickeled of all the videos we have of us training him to do tricks. He was also trained along side the working dogs at less than 4 months; I had forgotten all about it.
On a side note. We have a family member who also has a runt from a litter that friends of ours had. At 3 pounds he is no frail thing but he isn't very handsome either. My boy was perfect.
I found another comment a bit rude but perhaps had I been able to actually hear the tone it was intended to be made in it wouldn't have been read as such. Since I specifically asked for a person's opinion I'll give the benefit of the doubt. However, in response, I do like the beauty of a fine dog, am cautious and persistant until satisfied that I have all of the information. Some may call it obsession but not all people fall into the Dummy catagory for trying to get an answer. You can never ask too many questions. The simple minded are satisfied with little, the inquisitive are not. I didn't find raising a yorkie any more difficult than the other breeds of dogs I own or have owned nor do I feel I need to load up on how to care for a dog and fill my time while waiting for a puppy. I have plenty of obligations and things to fill my life. My daughter is welcome to express her excitment for a new puppy anytime she likes. She is a joy, not a pest. She's never been demanding. She's not like her mother but a lot like her father. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I apppeciate it.
