| I chose 5 pounds. Not too big and not to small. The perfect weight in my opinion. Scampers is 5 pounds and I love his size.

| Well Britain is 3 months old tomorrow and she is already 3 pounds!! So I think she will get to about 6 (maybe). I wonder if it could just be puppy growth and it will slow as she gets a bit older. Either way I dont care. She is a doll no matter what size she gets. |

| Pippa is 8lb and this i think is a good weight! I know its over the breed standard but she is just a little more robust than the smaller ones but still small enough to carry

| I said 8lbs also. Still a very small dog, but not too fragile that I have to hover over him and worry all the time. Baxter is 12 lbs and he is a really sturdy little guy, but sometimes a bit heavy to carry. But I'd say 8 lbs is ideal.

| I have the ideal Yorkie and he weighs 12 lbs! Not what I started out wanting (weight wise), but Joey couldn't be any closer to perfect. God, I love that dog!

| I would like Buddy to be around 8lbs. I would be to afraid to have a dog much smaller than that. He turned out to be 13lbs. but when he was that weight I thought it was perfect. However, so is 13lbs. I like the bigger Yorkies better than the little ones. It's to scary to me to have something so small. Carol & Buddy |

| I like the 5 lb range only because they all fit on my lap at the same time. poor Ahia has to sit beside me when the others are all on the lap. she tries tho. when traveling in the RV I made a platform to lay on my lap so they could all have a seat together. they loved it.

| I choose 5 pounds, but anywhere between 5 and 6 is good. They're not so delicate as the tiny ones and yet small enough to carry around. But I think a large one would be fun to have especially for a family. |

| I chose 6 lbs but 5 lbs would be fine but no smaller and no larger. My lap is only so big!
