Welcome. You will love Yorkies. I have 3 now and a pom and I have had Yorkies since 1970.
The AKC standard says they should be 7 lbs and under, I believe but they come in all sizes. I have a 5 1.2 lber, a 3 1/2 lber and the 7 month old puppy is 4 lbs right now. Actually my largest one has been the sickliest one. Just make sure you find a great breeder and you will be off to a great start. Silkies are a seperate breed and do resemble Yorkies but are bigger, shorter coats and have a longer face. You may see people refer to yorkies as silky but they are talking about their coat texture.
Generally they start out black and a little tan, their heads will turn to silevr and then to gold or tan. Their bodies can stay black or turn various shades of steel blue or gray, depending on their genetics. Hopefully some breeders will respond with a better description, I am just going by my experience as a pet owner. |
