| 45 lb. Yorkie! I largest one I have ever saw in Person was 45 lbs. and that was at my Breeders House, He was AKC. Registered so I beleived that he was Full blooded Yorkie, he was about knee-high too, rather large! He also had Diabetes so I think that had alot to do with it? He did NOT live that long, she had to put him to sleep.

I know, I read that in the breed history too. I was amazed to learn that the larger Yorkies were bred to to the Maltese to make them small and give them their silky hair. Maybe long ago the smaller Yorkies actually started as Morkies???

In addition to that, by the time the Yorkie was being developed as a breed, the Maltese had long been (for hundreds of years) a pampered lap dog and no longer used for ratting. Terriers were very much prized for their ratting ability, with their looks being a distant second. If I wanted a champion ratter, I would not cross my terrier with a Maltese. (I have owned 3 Maltese and 4 Yorkies, and their personalities are not at all the same). One of the terriers said to be used in the development of the Yorkie was the Clydesdale Terrier, and it did have a silky coat.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I have a soft spot for the bigger babies. I'd love to see pictures. Rhett is 12 pounds and I always hear that he must not be a true yorkie. I just tell everyone that he has to have a larger body to fit his larger personality.

| I've never ever read anything about Yorkies ever being bred with Maltese to make them small. Where did you read this?

YT Addict | little axel and big grits Not so sure maybe these big guys are not all yorkie? I'm just saying because my daughter in law has grits and he is about 18 lbs compared to my axel which is now little over 5 lbs. but he is mixed. I really didn't think they got that big. I like my 5 lbs only because we take him with us so much I wouldn't be able to do that with a 18 - 20 lbs dog. I would feel guilty leaving axel home all the time. But that is why I wanted a small boy! Does not mean I would love him any less. I had a 20 boston for 16 years. |

| Sure, they are all Yorkie. Considering that the Yorkie was developed using other terriers that were all larger (Sky, Clydesdale, Waterside, Paisley), the genes are there and if you get the right sperm and egg together, you get a throwback to the larger size. After all, all the breeds go back to the wolf. Selective breeding gave us all the numerous, vastly different looking breeds that we have now. We didn't have to have a tiny wolf to get down to the size of the Chi, the Yorkie, the Maltese, and all of the very different toy sized dogs that are available today.
