I've done the unprofessional and have gotten way to attached to her already. She's gotten knocked off of the couch by the other dogs and hurt, she can't play with the others and is always on the sidelines. I have to watch for her cause she's at my feet constantly and is liable to get stepped on. I even have to help her on and off of the deck. I don't know why anyone would want a dog that can't jump up on the couch by itself but that's just me. I sell all my babies at the same price unless they have an obvious fault. I have one that was 3 lbs. at 12 weeks but grew up to be only 4 lbs. so you just never know.

Lady Hawk, I do understand what you are saying which is why I want to keep my next yorkie the same size as Kodak. I want him to have a playmate but not a bigger dog. I see a lot of members posting with bigger breeds that get along with their yorkies. In this apartment building I have to keep them small and he just needs a playmate.
