| Weight Concern Hello, About a year ago I bought my dog from a certified Yorkie breeder in my area. He sold her to us as a "toy" but she is about to turn two years old in April and weights 12 pounds! I consider her bigger than standard, is this something to be concerned about? I see all these small Yorkies and then I look at mine and wonder if something is wrong. I feed her a good amount of food and harley give her treats. What should I do?!? |

| Welcome to YorkieTalk All Yorkies are in the toy group. The standard is seven pounds and under. Twelve pounds is just fine as long as it is a healthy weight for her. There are lot of bigger Yorkies here. Can you feel her ribs?

| My yorkie is 11 lbs and not an ounce overweight...As long as your baby is healthy and not overweight, the weight is fine There are yorkies of many different sizes...All yorkies regardless of size are considered toy. The standard calls for 7 pounds or less, but there are bigger yorkies and smaller yorkies
