Senior Yorkie Talker | Big Yorkie I am brand new to this forum and am delighted with my new pup, Milo. He is 5 months old and I have had him almost 4 weeks. I am totally in love with him. I had 2 Pembroke Welsh Corgies and this is my first Yorkie. My question is: Are there Yorkies that weigh more than 7 pounds? He weighs 10 pounds. I don't mind, however, because everyone in my family is big and a tiny dog could get hurt. Any feedback about size is appreciated. Last edited by jshade; 08-17-2012 at 02:38 PM. Reason: Typo |

welcome to yorkie talk and congrats on your first yorkie . they are awesome little dogs. yes , yorkies come in all sizes. in some cases they can go up to 20 pounds. yorkies over 7 pounds are lovingly referred to as "teapots". if your little guy is already 10 pounds at 5 months looks like you have a cuddly snuggly little teapot. my oscar is a small teapot @ 7 1/2 pounds and he is 1 year old . i think it is cool that yorkies come in a variety of sizes that way everyone can find the right fit for their family. it looks like you found yours. he is a very lucky little guy... have fun | |

| Welcome to YT. You'll have fun here. I don't have a teapot. Maybe I have half a teapot at 4 whopping lbs. at 10 months old. But shhhh! She thinks she's much bigger. |

| Yorkies used to be bigger so there are throw backs sometimes. Mine is 16 pounds and I love it I would love to see pictures of your pup!

| Yes they can be and thats the way I like them because we are active outdoorsy type of people and a bigger yorkie fits into our life style more. Chachi can keep up with us when we take to walking trails Jewels My 8 lber cant

| Cozy is a teapot which she says is because she had 10 babies (2 litters). What woman could keep their shape after that. Just more of her to love Lucy is a slight teapot at 7.5 pounds. RIP ZOEY was only 5 pounds generally and her littermate sister Roxy is 3.5-4 pounds generally. I believe Yorkies were down breed over the years from 20 pounds.
