Diesel is only 5 pounds but I always thought that was on the small side.

OHH she also said that Yorkies have jumped up and grabbed the SECOND spot on the charts now!
SOO...What are your thoughts on it all.
A nice sized female, is a Breeder/ Exhibitors dream. Weight is something to be considered, however bone structure on a female is important.

I'd much prefer a female closer to the 6 1/2 pound range. I like to be pleasantly surprised that there is substance when I pick her up. Anything less that 5 pounds in a female is scary
