It's really wonderful news that there ARE people who appreciate big yorkies!
Yorkies big or small are just adorable and full of spirit dogs!
Not just yorkies, I love to see dogs of different breeds and sizes.
I go gaga over Huskies and Goldies as well.

I've a silky and three yorkies.
Shadi who is a silky was often mistaken for a yorkie when she was young.
We stopped explaining to others she is actually a silky when another one comments, oh she's a yorkie??? LOL

Tintin who weighs 8.8pounds is a big yorkie but to me he's my precious baby.
We had a very nasty lady before, who asked : ' Is that a yorkie?' And we answered yes. She was shaking her head and staring at Tintin. SO RUDE. later, she said, NO, that is not a pure yorkie, it is a mized for sure. My yorkie is only this tiny. She then proceeds to show me how TINY her yorkie is.
*Roll my eyes* She has that smirk on her face that i felt like slapping her!!!

Then we had Junior, 4.8 pounds pedigree yorkshire (we just love yorkshires so much that we cannot stop at 1!) We have lots of people who recognise him as a yorkie but there is this incident where a lady asked:.' oh, what a cute silky.' I was like, he is a yorkie. And she said, 'oh, that is a BIG yorkie you have there. BIG, 4.8 pounds big???????

We currently had a lil girl Oreo. Have not brought her out yet so will let you guys know if there are any stories (good and bad) to u'all.

Sorry for the long winded post. But I totally feel what the rest of the members are going through.
