I have got a bigger yorkie myself,. i thought i had a smaller one,. but he is defenitly a standard..
I know people say that there are no minis, small or teacups or teapots.
But in the netherlands we have not alot small yorkies.
We mostly have standard size here.. mine weighs now about 8 Lbs i guess
And he is precious..

When i was in the states last oct till january i found that alot of people breed very small ones..
Sorry i cant help you... only thing i can say is that in the netherlands the average is bigger.
Love Priscilla and good luck.

I am so shocked that the yorkie breed has been turned into teacups and females exclusively. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it so much!
The breeders I have found I have not trusted and that is the hardest part of this whole search. I am a teacher that will be off for the summer the 1st week of June. So, I have been trying to find a puppy that will be 12wks or more around that time. I will have 10wks to give him my undivided attention and train him. So, it would be ideal to find him soon!
Also, I am puppy proofing my condo and I am having no luck finding a freestanding gate that is made of mesh or a material other than wire. I don't want his paws to get caught in wire or his body to get stuck in a slated gate.

Thanks so much!
