| We need help picking new girl!!!! How should I go about picking my new yorkie? The breeder sent me pics of the litter at 2 weeks and wants me to pick one, since I have the first dib. She gave me the birth weights and the current weights. For example, one of them weighed 3.6 ounces at birth and is now 12.4 ounces 2 weeks later. Does that mean that one will probably grow slower now? I am just so confused! Any advice would help us greatly!! How do you know which one is going to be the smallest? |

| That will be very hard to determine which will be smallest, as each Yorkie does grow differently. There are also other factors, such as what food you feed the Yorkie and how much exercise they get. If both are healthy and you trust your breeder, you won't go wrong with either one. |

| ok here they are....I talked to the breeder and she said that we cant see them until they are 6 weeks old. And we have to pick now bc the other people want to see the dogs they are purchasing. Does that make sense? Let me know. |

| OMG, they are so tiny and cute I don't know how you can choose when they are all so precious. I had first pick when I got Hoku and my breeder sent me weekly pics and told me a little about each one and then I made my decision but it was still hard. Good luck!

| I am sorry that your breeder is in such a hurry. Seems like she could wait until they are 5-6 weeks so you could get a better idea of looks/weight/personality. Hmmmm... If it were me and I was made to choose at 2 weeks, I would go with #1. There is just something about that little face. Good luck with your choice. On a positive note, you can't go wrong because they are all adorable! Tammy |

| NIVER buy a puppy without seeing it and the parents and the breeding practice and home of the breeder!!! It's buyer beware. There is NO WAY you can choose a puppy by looking at pictures. I'd shy away from that breeder. Fly there and look at the pups when they are 12 weeks old before making that major decision. |
