Sometimes people get a yorkie to replace a yorkie and want one similar to the one they lost. So they want a particular size or color. Sometimes people want a yorkie as a playmate for another yorkie, so size can be a factor there. I have an AKC pup and a CKC pup, when I took them to the vet he said my CKC would fit the 'standard' whereas my AKC would probably be larger than standard size. Doesn't matter to me. A lot of people don't realize the heart ache that can come with a tiny pup, all the things that can go wrong or happen to them. I, personally, want a sturdy dog. I'm a little gal, 90 pounds soaking wet, once a dog gets over 8 - 10 pounds it's hard for me to hold, carry and bathe them, so I have to be careful there. |
