Since there is no height or weight disqualification you will not generally see a judge weigh or measure a yorkie. Where the breed standard calls for certain height and weigh requirements judges will do it but in yorkies it's not a DQ so therefore no need. The standard just says not to exceed 7 pounds. You can have a short cobby yorkie be over 7 pounds as well as a tall elegant yorkie but as stated they need to be structurly portioniate (can't spell the word) LOL. I don't mind a 7 1/2 pound male or female as long as they are structurely put together and they are sound. My preference is a 6 to 6 1/2 pound yorkie male or female.
