| I thought 4-7 lbs was the standard and anything under that was a tiny.

| The standard is anything up to 7 pounds. The desired or average may be 4-7 pounds but a 2 pound yorkie is as much in standard as a 6 pounder. |

| I'm a firm beleiver any dog should be first and foremost healthy and able to do the job the breed was intended for in the case of a yorkie it should be able to catch and kill rats. Any under the size to fulfill this criteria should not be being deliberately bred. I voted any under 5 lbs to be tiny/small/"teacup". I'd like to think the "craze" for really tiny dogs will not be here for ever or we could see the end of the Yorkshire Terrier/ Maltese/ Chihuahua as good sound breeds of dog |

| Lucy is 8 pounds and she looks quite small, I know many yorkies larger then her. I also know a yorkie that is about 4 pounds and I think that is tiny! Cant even imagine anything smaller than that! |

| Pepper whom I lost in April in an accident was 3lbs 2 oz.. I had never had such a small dog. He amazed me because he acted like a dog ... kept up with my bigger yorkies even ruled most times... I loved owning him. ..but small has pros and cons.... |
