Shylah, weighs about 6lbs and you wouldn't know it. She has such a delicate bone structure, Brynna, weighs 8lbs, and has a larger bone structure, they are littermates, and we think they are a nice size. It just goes to show that you can get different sizes from the same litter. Just like humans.

My sister takes them to the vet. The last time she took them, the vet tech, said she hadn't seen yorkies that big. She had a real one at home. She started to inform my sister that real yorkies, don't get above 5lbs and even then that is too big. Now my sister is not the type to politely ignore such ignorance.

Needless, to say the vet tech was quite succinctly informed!

Unfortunately it is people who are in these positions, ( that should know better) who perpetuate the problem.

I am very glad that you make sure that your prospective parents are properly informed.

Big or small we love them all.
Best
