| Wouldn't it be great to have GIANT Yorkies?! Yes! Some of us posses yorkies bigger than standard. I have two of them and am proud! Bambi is a 12 pounds yorkie and Mia is 9 pounds but she is 6 months old so I think she will be around 10-11 lbs. I know all about the AKC standard but I still believe it is great to have these awesome sturdy yorkshire terriers which not only have the temperament of one but also the muscle. The thing is I would find it great if Yorkies had like Schnauzers the different size versions. I would absolutely to own a 50lbs Yorkshire Terrier!!! Just imagine a giant in the patio running with his lovely hair flowing majestically with the wind like the afghan hounds do. Call me weird, but I love yorkies in all their shades and shapes!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | LOL - that does sound like fun - but I have to tell you I did own an Afghan Hound, and keeping all that hair from getting tangled was a full time job - I eventually kept her in a "puppy" cut - would definately need to be housebroke - can you imagine the size of the "Pee Pads"...LOL! Not to mention how much it would cost us to dress a 50 lb yorkie...lol!!! I think I'll just stick with my 9 pounder! But I know what you're saying - just can't get enough of them!!

| My first impulse is to say YES! A huge yorkie to cuddle with. That would be AWESOME!!!!! But, let's be realistic ladies. I think we can barely handle one smart, cunning, mischievous yorkie in a small package. (I'm including any yorkie under 20 lbs too) Imagine if they were the size of a German Shephard. We would be done for! They would definitely be able to take over the world. (you know that's what they're planning, right?)

| A lot of the appeal of yorkies to me is there size. There are tons of active, energetic, terriers to choose from if you want a large dog. I chose yorkies because I wanted a fun, spunky dog who was still easy enough to throw in a bag and take on a plane or in the car when I travel. A dog over 10 pounds likely wouldn't fit well with my lifestyle- so for now I stick with my tiny terrors- OOPS! terriers.

| I wish they would up the standard a little bit... because I prefer 10-20lb Yorkies for sure. It's nice to still have that Yorkie personality in a bit larger package. But I think there's a lot of great 50+ plus terriers that could suit someone who wants a big dog. An Airedale comes to mind.... but it is a funny thought!!!!

| I think it would be nice if they had the different sizes kinda like poodles do. Callie is 16 pounds and my moms is also 16 pounds and the sizes is perfect for us.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Shhhhhhh! Don't tell Tallulah. She thinks she is just as big as the mastiff she met at school a few weeks ago. I love being able to carry her around because she weighs just a little over 5 lb. But if increasing the size called for by the standard would reduce some of the health issues these little guys can have, I would be all for it. |

Although a really small Yorkie would not suit my lifestyle, I still have an appreciation for the smaller ones.
