| The vet said Boomer was big for a yorkie. Boomer went to the vet for the first time since I got him yesterday for a check up. He has ear mites, but no worms or anything else to be concerned about , so yay! He goes in next week for his first round of shots. One thing bothered me, though. The vet told me that he was really too big to be a Yorkie. He's two months and already he's five pounds. Our vet said that if he had to guess, he would say that boomer is a mix. When I told him that I have the papers to have him registered, he just told me that with those it's more of an honor thing. I dunno. I think Boomer looks like a Yorkie, especially in the face. Do any of you know how big a Yorkie can get? What the vet said really made me think he's not a Yorkie, I mean, I'll love him the same regardless, but now I'm just curious. |

YT 2000 Club Member | dog He is adorable. He kinda looks like a biewer. His coat is beautiful. My JoJo has long legs and I was wondering if he is really Yorkie. He looks more like a silkie. He is bigger than Spud. He has the heart of a Yorkie so I know he is wonderful. So is your dog. You are blessed having him! |

| I know 22 pound AKC registered yorkies. My Cozy at one point was 8 pounds- Now she is 13 pounds and refuses to lose the weight or be denied food! She will track the food down her self if she must!

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | there IS A very long thread here in General Discussion Forum, the one that you are in; that is entitled I am going to get a DNA test done. Your boy looks like either a Parti or a Biewer. Some of the Yorkies can get quite large; we have a teapot club here for our YOrkies that have more to love! Unfortunately (or not), although the Standard for the YOrkie is up to 7lbs, it is not uncommon in a litter to have the outliers - those that are definitely tracking to weigh a whole lot more than 7lbs at maturity. It looks like your dog is tracking anywhere from 13-15 lbs or more when full grown. If full bred status is important to you, and what you paid for, then you might consider a DNA test that is elaborated upon in the earlier thread I mentioned. Quote:

| Lucy was 5 pounds at 2 months. She should be 6.5-7 pounds but like her mama dog loves food too much. She weights 8-8.5 pounds. She and her mama are Porkie yorkies and proud of it

| Boomer is adorable. Size does not automatically determine breed or mix. My boys are above standard and I'm pretty sure they are all Yorkie.

| He looks just like my Chili but yours has cuter ears . Chili is a parti Yorkie according to the breeder I got him from. I wouldn't worry about how big he is. He is adorable! I think it was out of place for your vet to tell you that he is too big. What's it to him/her anyway? |
