| He is build like a football player not a yorkie Harley had his last set of shots this morning (we will be taking our first walk later this week!!!!) and the vet said he isn't really build like most yorkies but like a little football player. He said he is very muscular for a little guy. He is build very differently than Samson, who is has that skinny thin yorkie build. It is funny because at the same age they were the same weight but Harley just looks more "sturdy". I am very excited we can start taking walks later this week though, poor little thing just cries and cries everytime I take Samson out.

| Then maybe Sam isn't built like a standard yorkie. it is funny to see both of them together because their builts are just so different, faces are shaped differently to. Both are cute though .

| My Gizmo is a stocky, solid guy also. You can actually feel the difference. He just seems to stand heavier. When he stands on my leg, it can hurt. Kandi is very lightweight and gentle. You can barely feel her when she's standing on you. It's not the weight difference. I really do think it's how they're built. IDK where it comes from, but they are still adorable!

| awww Harley sounds so cute! My Dex is short and stalky, but not sturdy at all, he's got little stick legs and feather light bones. My Fletch is long, lean and sturdy as can be! I love it!

| That's good that he's sturdy. You won't have to worry so much about injuries. I always said Buddy was built like a Boston Terrier. Very solid and musular. Good luck with Harley. Enjoy |

| My Coco is built like a bulldog. His little front legs are like bow legged. Sooo cute. He looks like a muscle boy.

| I agree! It's a good thing that he's sturdy. You'll worry less about him jumping and running. Mine has broad shoulders and a narrow waist like a footbal player too!

SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A TEA CUP EXCEPT SHE IS A GENTLE GIANT. sHE IS NOW 17 YEARS AND HAS NEVER BEEN INJURED. I am glad we picked eqach othert oh yes when she had pups 14 years ago most were tea cups........ |
