I had no idea what Miley or her parents weighed when i went to get her..It wasn't til i brought her home and weighed her that I knew she was wayyy small..I weight her everyday to make sure she gains..i did it wiht my chi til he got older..now i do every once in awhile justto see if he is the same or lost or gained ect..
I see nothing wrong with shooting for a certain size as long as it is within the standard..Thats what a standard is set for and thats what makes a yorkie a yorkie along with other things..
What I hate to see is people wanting to buy dogs like say a beagle..(couldn't think of anything else lol) and want to find a breeder that sells beagles hat are 2 pounds when they are supposed to be what 15 (I don't have any idea what they ae supposed to way lol) anyway see what im getting at.
If she wants a yorkie that is around 4 pounds it is still within the standard size for a yorkie and I see nothing wrong with it..it's her preference..
BUT.......Star if you are really set on a smaller one then I'd wait til you got your lil guy home and adjusted before you get another..and I'd make sure you do plenty of research and prepare yourself..cause the smaller ones can have issues..but then again so can the bigger ones..just educate yourself..

One last thing..very important..wait til pup is 12 weeks before you bring home..I learnt that lesson the hard way and it almost cost miley her life because of my stupidity..

When I got peanut I had no idea what size he was going to be! I didn't see his parents, I didn't ask how big they were, I didn't care. All I knew is that when I saw him I feel in LOVE with him. I just cared that he was a healthy puppy!! I would love him if he turned out to be 10 lbs!!

If you want a yorkie, you want a yorkie no matter what size your yorkie turns out to be he/she is still a yorkie. No matter what size they are , they are all beautiful!!

I agree also. When I got Teddy at 3 months old he was 2.2 pounds and that honestly scared me a little. I was always worried about him getting squished or getting sick and not being able to make it. I got him as a birthday present so I had no idea how big his parents were or anything. I just knew that I wanted a sweet yorkie of any size and my prayers were answered . Although Teddy is only just over 4 pounds it makes a big difference. I like that he's got a little more meat on him. I don't have to worry about him as much.

Company that the breeder works for? so are you getting your puppy from a broker or a pet store? that's not good either.

when getting a puppy you should be getting it from teh breeder themselves, not a company.

i'm sorry but no reputable breeder would work through a site like this. that's the same thing pet stores tell the people who buy their puppies. honestly you have no way of knowing where exactly your puppy is coming from. these types of companies lie just to sell more puppies. your puppy can be coming from a puppy mill. it can have major health problems or it may not even be a pure bred yorkie.

i'd look elsewhere for a puppy. there are breeders here on YT or you can go to Yorkshire Terrier Club of America to look for a reputable breeder.

Probably not a scam just not an ideal place to get your puppy.
I just saw the "testimonials" haven't we seen that pic of Miley Sirus somewhere else before?

Sadly enough, yes it could be a scam. Where is your local airport if you don't mind me asking? Good luck.

it happens unfortunately. brittany spears went and got her puppy from a pet store. impulse buys.

If you can't get your money back then you take that puppy and enjoy the hell out of him. Lots of people here have puppies from places they didn't know any better about. some are perfectly fine, some have minor problems, some have major problems. nothing you can do about it once you have the puppy. just love him and spoil him.

Now that you are on YT and you are learning you'll be able to get your female from a better place whenever you decide to get her.

They are puppy brokers, and in my opinion the lowest of the low. Don't depend upon celebrities to give you good information on where to buy a pet, many of them are no more informed than the average person, and they believe that if they pay top dollar you will get a good pet from reputable breeder. Reputable breeders always want to interview the puppy purchaser, they don't want to sell a dog that might not be a suitable match, they are as picky as a rescue is when it comes to placing dogs, and they would never sell to a broker. Commercial breeders, and those who breed for profit will sell to brokers, and just about anyone else with the money, they often "pretend" to be picky, and their breeding dogs are often kept in deplorable conditions.
