I don't believe, personally, that a Yorkie under 3.5 pounds full grown is a good thing and I think it's a shame that the breed is deliberately being bred down to below this size because common sense dictates that this puts these dogs at risk of a lot of health problems and ultimately compromises the breed on the whole
When I got my baby we had no idea she was only going to be 2.9 pounds. Both her parents weighed a little over 5 pounds. So, my breeder does not breed for tinies it just turned out that way. And she is a VERY HEALTHY 2.9 pounder and I LOVE HER DEARLY. It's just a little hard to cuddle with her because I'm scared I'm going to crush her .

I'm going to get another girl puppy from her and hopefully she will get to 4 pounds I think that is a nice sized yorkie. So,I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get her on Wensday of next week.
