Yes. It seems the stress would not be good for such a wee one. My Abbie is 6lbs, and gets stressed if there are a lot of people around. Our house is on the parade route in our small town, and yesterday she shook for several hours just because the parade was passing! Of course, I realize we lead a pretty quiet life.

Personally - I would love to see at two different classes---4-7 pounds -- and 7-14 pounds.....something like this. I wouldn't want to encourage the breeding of little Yorkies smaller than 4 pounds. This is why I wouldn't include these smaller weights.

Me too. I would LOVE to see this!

**** I think - just out of curiosity - I will write the AKC and see why they have never allowed for the variation in the Yorkies' size.

That is curious, since the breed does seem to come in such varied sizes. Let us know, if you write!
