We thought Sophie would weigh 5-6lbs and she now weighs 12lbs. We thought she would be silver and she stayed black. (which I really like) We thought her ears would stand and they didn't. We didn't know she would have such thick beautiful hair. I thought I wanted a smaller dog but turns out she has been perfect for us. I babysit for a little boy and have lots of neices and nephews so I don't have to worry about her getting hurt as much as if she where smaller. I am so glad that I didn't know all about the breed standards and all the stuff I guess you should look at when getting a yorkie because I would have missed out on the best little yorkie girl in the world.
