i was told Belle would be between 3 and 5 pounds and now at 1 year and 3 months of age she weighs in at about 7lbs 2oz... i was just reading the breed standard on the AKC website, and realized that i have never met a yorkie that meets the standard, seeing as they haev the progressive gray gene and whatnot... and they're teeth are generally not good...=/ i'd love to see pictures of an AKC show yorkie, Belle is AKC registered, and her parents too...but dad was definately silver when i met him... and belle will probably end up there in the future... although it alternates, her roots are still black... she's perfect to me though, and that is all that matters! |
