Twinkles
is definitely our little star. He's our precious teeny
tiny AKC Yorkshire Terrier puppy, (Yorkie). When he
joined our family, this teacup sized yorkie puppy weighed
a mere 17 ounces at 10 weeks! So tiny, he fit in the
palm of our hand. The cute photo on the left Twinkles
is playing in a teacup.
He's very affectionate, loves to give kisses to anyone
that holds him, be held
Because of his tiny size, I made a soft plush snuggle
pouch to carry him in the front leaving my hands free
to do house work and keep him safe from accidentally
being stepped on. He runs incrediblely fast and extremely
energetic for such a little thing. He would be all the
way across the room one minute, and then the next thing
you know he's at your feet!
According to the American Kennel Club (AKC) Breed Standards,
Yorkies are in the Toy Group, and can range in size
from 4 - 7 lbs. If you do search online you will find
Yorkies that are way over 12 lbs. Twinkles comes out
of tiny Yorkie lines and his fathers sire is a 3 1/2
lb Champion.
