Wow, you have learned a lot. It sounds like your vet is really on top of things. That is wonderful. The only experience I had with pups was one litter of Lhasos 30 years ago and God was just gracious because I knew NOTHING. The hardest part was letting those babies go to their new homes. It really broke my heart.

I am now pretty much a "Spay & Neuter Your Pets" type person unless you have show quality animals. The first Yorkie I bought turned out to be over 10 pounds with floppy ears and a bad bite but he was cheap ($150) and I loved him to death.

The one I have now is precious but I paid WAY too much for her. In my ignorance, I paid more because she was so small. Took her at 13 oz when the vet said she was 9 wks old & wouldn't be over 2 lbs. full grown . Like I said, I knew absolutely nothing. We had a short bout with coccidia but other than that she has been fine. One vet told me he didn't believe she was even that old because her teeth were late coming in. Thankfully, she seems to be healthy @ 9 months and we have had her spayed & 6 baby teeth pulled with no ill effects. She weighs 4 lbs now which I believe is probably the same size as the other pups in the litter which were a LOT less money. I didn't even necessarily want her to be 2 lbs. I just wanted her to be small and her ears stand up which she is and they do.

I checked you personal profile and under occupation you said, BOA, can I ask what that is? PM me if you'd rather not open post. I just realized that probably I should have PM'd most of this post but oh well,
