I Loved my larger than life yorkies too.When I had them I was a busy working Mum.All yorkie just bigger.I had them both for 16 years with never an illness between them.Just big enough to take the knocks and spills of life with a young child.Ellie is my seventh yorkie,Two were mine,two I fostered for a while,one I rescued ,and one I adopted as she wasn't wanted.I can honestly say I loved every one of them,big or small.See them here
