When I got my second pup, the first one was still a puppy so they got along great right from the beginning. With you, the older one has been the only child for quite some time so it will probably take a longer time to adjust. I'm sure there are some on here with experience who can give more advice. I'm guessing you meant pounds, not ounces. Otherwise that would make both parents less than 1 pound. The adult size will probably be close to the parents, but that is not always the case. How big is he now and how old? Also wanted to add... You are not getting a "teacup" yorkie. You are getting just a yorkie, because there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie.

| There is no such thing as a teacup it was a word made up by bad breeders to sell puppies. I would not buy from a breeder who uses the word teacup they are not a good breeder and they don't do things good breeders do so you could end up with a sick pup or a pup that ends up have genetic issues a little later in life.

First off, teacups do not exist. They are merely runts of the litter that are bred over and over to produce tiny tiny puppies that are covered with health issues. Teacups are at least 2x more prone to hypoglycemia. Many of these puppies often experience hypoglycemic issues and that's a real problem. Secondly, no good breeder uses the word "teacup". Only Backyard Breeders and Puppy Mills do. I advise you to run, not walk away from whatever breeder you are looking at now.

sorry,listen to what these members are telling you, listen more carefully to what member thelittleyorkie is advising. You are taking a GREAT risk buying a pup advertized as a teacup, their advise, your decision. I hope youmake the right one. Good luck
