My Zeb is about 10 pounds and about 11 inches tall. My little Zack, bless him, when he was alive was 10 pounds and 10 inches tall although he was nearly as tall as his parents at 10 weeks. I don't care what size they are - size doesn't matter if you love them. I think the origins of the yorkie if I remember right from what I've read is that they were much bigger when they were bred for ratting. When Zack became a father for the first time one of the puppies turned out to be the same size as his parents - the rest were the size of him and his late wife, lovely Poppy.
What also has annoyed me in the past as I've always kept my dogs clipped shorter and one day a woman made a comment - "oh poor things they've got short hair" - I said "Yes they're pets - they're not show dogs." I see many people keep their Yorkies clipped shorter. |
