2lbs. yikes :eek:
I would advise anyone looking for a tiny dog to do their homework and consider their lifestyle and stage in life before getting one. These little guys can't be left alone as easily and must eat on a regular basis. The novelty of small and cute is fun but these are living beings that require special care. Will you still want to deal with it in 5, 10 years?
If you are up to the task they are well worth the work. Just be sure they are Healthy first and tiny second!
| Of course she does need special care and she does get it. She is never left home alone, etc.
In 5 or 10 years.,.....well why not ? Would you abandon your child if it developed some abnormality ? I would not intentially look for a Yorkie that size, and had hoped she might reach 3 pounds, but since she did not I love her and care for her as she is. |
