In my experience with Yorkies - bigger is better. My last two at their top weight: 3 lbs, the other 7 lbs. HUGE difference!
The little one had more problems and definitely much more fragile.(even though she thought she was a pit bull). She was at the emergency hospital at least 2 or 3 times a year, not only for health issues but for accidents like getting stuck under the car seat tearing her acl or getting her little leg caught in the heater grate having to wrap her up with the grate to get to the vet, etc. etc. seems like there is a whole set of problems for the little ones due to their size. Everyone wants to hold them and you're holding your breath for fear of dropping them.
In my experience a couple lbs. makes a big difference! Good luck & let us know who you bring home! |
