And there is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie, and that anyone who attempts to sell you a pup with this labelling is misinformed. Also ears up or down, that also is something that varies. Our older Yorkie, "kelly" is 11 lbs. with down floppy ears, that only go up if she's excited. And our young new pup, "daisy" is only 1.85lbs at 5mos. and her ears go down when she's frightened or tired.
Will you love your dog less if she is bigger that you had hoped? I hope not. | I have never heard the breed standard as low as 2 pounds.. I always heard and read in all the books I have as 5-7 is the standard...?
