| Yorkie Long Legs Three years ago I rescued a tiny "runt" three week old female Yorkie. She was the size of a small mouse, had hypoglycemia, worms and was dehydrated. Six weeks of weekly vet care and two hour feedings, she survived and now is 10.2 pounds and has very long legs. A perfectly wonderful little friend that I fiercely love...but, is she most likely a Yorkie mix? |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. My boys are full Yorkies and also have long legs. There is a just-for-fun "club" here called the "The Long Leg Supermodel Club."

| My Barney is a yorkie and has long legs. He is 11 inches tall and only 9.5 inches long. He's a cute odd duck! I can't wait to see pictures of your long legged baby.

| My Ricky has long legs as well and he's a purebred. He is actually about an inch taller than my other male, and he literally weighs half as much...and it's because he is ALL legs. The breed standard calls for 7lbs and under and your little guy is a little over that, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's not a yorkie. There are other people here who have yorkies that are over 7 lbs. As suggested, you could take a picture...or you could always ask a vet. |
