When we got Ellie, we were also concerned about weight. We did want a Yorkie who would be on the smaller side. The reason (answering the first post) is because we travel back and forth to Florida. Traveling with a smaller dog is much easier. You would be surprised how little room there is under the seat in the airplane. I think it would be very hard for a larger dog to fit comfortably under there. I do think that as much as people seem concerned about how big their yorkie will be, I do not think it is as much of an issue as many believe. How many people, who were promised a certain weight, give the dog back or away when the dog outgrows the weight they were promised? Not many and that is because no matter how big the dog gets we have already fallen in love and would never part with him/her.
