When we got Heidi we did not know how big she would be and as it turned out she is 3.5 lbs and is almost 5 years old and is very healthy with no serious problems. I think a lot of the things that bring people to refer to smaller yorkies as unhealthy are certain breeders than advertise tea cup yorkies as a selling feature and specifically try and breed them to enhance the smaller size of yorkie, when in fact there is no such thing as a tea cup yorkie and some of these yorkies that are bred to be smaller reflect health problems more readily. They come in all weights shapes and sizes when bred under normal conditions.
