When my kids were younger we had a big 12.5 pound yorkie, in fact I've had 2 of them. The next was 9 lbs. I guess you could say that I worked my way down and now my breeding stock is around 5.5 lbs. I found the larger yorkies to be wonderful companions and great with the kids. Keagan was my hiking buddy and my husband would still like an other large yorkie to go trudging through the woods with him. I found the larger ones are a bit easier to train, I guess because they have bigger bladders and it's easier for them to hold it longer. Take your time shopping and find one that you feel will fit right into your family. Good luck!
