Default A Question About Yorkie Size...

I am getting a yorkie puppy in 2 1/2 weeks. I am more than excited, there are no words to express the mix of love, fear, and anticipation I am feeling. I have seriously wanted a yorkie since I was 11 years old, and I'm finally bringing him home.

When I set out on my quest to finally get a yorkie baby, I wanted one on the smaller side, probably 3-4 lbs., simply because I plan to bring him everywhere with me (school, work, shopping, etc.) and I thought it would be easier if he was smaller. However, fell in love with my baby. My little boy's mom is 7 lbs and his dad is 4 lbs. The breeder expects the puppies to weigh about 5-6 lbs as adults.

As a disclaimer: I don't care if he grows up to be 100 lbs, I would love him just the same (can you tell I'm lovestruck?). I don't think there is anything wrong with standard sized yorkies or teapot yorkies, I love them just the same. I was seeking a small one because I thought it would suit my lifestyle better.

My question is, are the 5-6 pound babies as "portable" (I use this term loosely) as the smaller ones? Is there anyone that takes their standard sized yorkie with them everywhere?
