| Our first yorkie was just over 3lbs and she ruled the house.Size means nothing in the care of your baby. Big or small they need the same from you. Our second Yorkie was 12lbs and had all the same needs as the first. One thing I recommend to all small dog owners is steps for the bed. When they are young that jump is nothing but just like humans as we age things hurt more and are harder to do. Save the damage from starting buy them or make them stairs to get onto the bed or up on the couch. |

| Stairs are available for mine to get onto the bed but mine never use them. I believe bigger ones at better if you have kids.

I wish I knew or thought about this while I was breeder shopping, luckily since we did our homework our baby turned out to have great bone structure. I couldn't stop her from jumping off things and god knows I've tried. Even when she's going down stairs, she'll jump from the 2nd last step to the bottom in a flash. She's so solidly built now that she's 7 months everyone's surprised when they pick her up and not feeling what they expect! | |

| Jasmin is 7.2 lbs. I preferred bigger yorkies. They are able to do more things.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Yep...same here! I should not even have a yorkie yet. My birthday gift was to be a yorkie. My birthday is in October. While looking at yorkies for sale late one night I saw this cute little face that stole my heart right then. So I woke my DH up at something around 2:00 in the morning and made him promise me we could get him. Of course he agreed because he wanted to go back to sleep. Now he can't go anywhere without coming home with something for his little boy. Lol I have read so many threads on here where yorkies have jumped off of furniture or out of arms, etc. That I'm afraid to do anything with Jasper. He weighs around 4 pounds. I know this probably isn't healthy because I'm not letting him be the puppy he wants to be. I'm so scared to lose him....so I teach him tricks and I play with him on the floor or the bed. He seems to have fun and he looks happy to me. So I ask you, is it wrong not to take him outside? My disability keeps me from taking him on walks. OP, I'm sorry if I hijacked your thread. I certainly didn't mean to.

| I chose Max from a picture, and then I researched the breeder. We drove 6 hours to pick him up.
