This is my personal opinion. I had a 3 1/2 pounder (Shorty R.I.P) He was precious to me, but somewhat fragile. I was always concerned about luxating patella's, my toddler neice falling on her bum when he was standing behind her, another dog thinking he was a bunny, etc. When I went to find another baby, I specifically wanted one that had a little more weight to be somewhat more hearty. I do not breed or show. I know this is very important to people who do, but for people who don't, just feel blessed that you are owned by one of these miraculous little wonders called yorkie's. My Otis is 7 pounds of mischief, sweetness, and he's a serious bloodhound/hunter when he's outside, mostly he's the smile when I come home from work. I haven't had and human children, but I am blessed to have 2 dog children. They fulfill me, no matter how much they weigh.
