 size
Depends on how large. Weight is not that important to me..the frame is what I like to look at..frame should be in proportion to weight. I had a 8 pound champion female and she looked wonderful..not oversized at all. I like a balanced dog..9 pounds on an compact 7 or 8 pound frame can look good...9 pounds on a long, lanky frame can look like a small pony. We all have our preferrences and I perfer a bitch from 5 to 7 pounds..but would never say no to a quality 8 pounder..quality and pedigree come first, size comes after, unless it is a tiny.
I have two books I used...I will look in some boxes..just moved to FLorida..I can not remember the exact title and authors...you will find very little about breeding Yorkies as a breed...you will find alot about history and care...there is only so much you can learn from a book..it is like a doctor reading about surgery, they need to actually cut to be a surgeon...you need a mentor!
