 Yorkie on steroids!?! Not really...
Hi! My Riley is a big boy. The breeder told me when the rest of the litter weighed 2 pounds, Riley weighed 3. Now, at 7 1/2 months, he weighs 11 pounds. Even more amazing, he is 16 inches from his collar to the base of his tail!
When people ask me what kind of dog he is, I just say, "Meet my Yorkie on steroids!" I joke that I should have named him Henry Wadsworth because he is such a long fellow. :-)
Riley is the sweetest and smartest dog I have ever owned. He has more friends than I do. When I walk him, kids run out of houses to pet him. Today a truckful of teenaged boys drove by, leaning out of the windows yelling, "Hey, Riley!" I have no idea who they are or how they know him. I think he is adorable, and apparently so does everyone else, even though he is not standard sized by any means. He is my little clown, full of personality and fun. If I have done it right, attached is a snapshot to illustrate- he is interested in everybody and everything. I wouldn't change him for the world. |
