Yorkie standard size should be 5 to 7 pounds. A "reputable" breeder would not use the words tiny, small, little, as a reputable breeder breeds to standard size (5 to 7 Lbs). That is not to say a reputable breeder would not have a smaller puppy in a litter, it happens often, but not deliberately breeding for "tiny" pups. Tiny pups are very fragile, much care must be given to owning these tiny 3 + Lb lil critters, as adorable as a tiny is they have more health issues, fragile bones, they cannot jump off high things like sofas or beds, there is danger of breaking bones. In my opinion I would not buy from littleyorkies because it is very clear she breeds for under standard puppies and hides that fact.
Finding a honest and reputable breeder is work and time consuming but pays off in the end with a good, healthy puppy that falls into the standard weight. Good luck on your quest in finding that perfect puppy.
Happy Holidays to you and your family. | The standard is actually not to exceed 7 pounds no minimum. That also seems to be the size lots of people use for males. But she is a little to crazy with tiny so I do think spot on with that.
