About how big are the Yorkies you are seeing? I have a 5 pound Yorkie and he is only about 6 inches tall (bottom of foot to top of shoulder). I also have a 2.5 pound Yorkie (she suffers from Dwarfism, MVD, and hydrocephalus) and she is 5 inches tall. Build has a lot to do with weight but I just wonder if the people you are meeting really know how much their Yorkie weighs.

I have had experience with a lot of Yorkies through rescue work and my mother being a breeder. My personal preference is that I would never buy a Yorkie that I knew was going to be less than 5 lbs. They just get hurt way too easily.
