I wanted to read all the post before I posted and I thot I was going to post about the biggest Yorkie. LOL I met a man looking for a playmate for his Yorkie who weighs 25 lbs. My biggest dogs are only 11 lbs. I'm not sure they would be big enough to be a proper companion for one that size.
I have to say that I joined Yorkie Talk in 2005 too and this forum seems to have changed an awful lot since my Pirogue started getting big. I was chewed out for his size and he was about 8 lbs at that time. In the last year or so I have been chewed out for breeding a male who throws tinies. I have sizes from 11 lbs down to 2 little males that the puppy weight chart is predicting to be 2 1/2 lbs when they are fully grown. This mean they may be close to 3 lbs when they are fully grown. I have been keeping track of the weights of my puppies to see how accurate the chart is when compared to my lines. It is pretty accurate.
When Pirogue started getting too big to breed to my females, I started looking for a female more his size. It took me 2 years to find one his size. Now I breed big Yorkies for families with small children that want a Yorkie but don't want to worry about their children hurting a small one. My smaller studs are 4 lbs and 4.4 lbs and produce tinies to 8 lbs depending on the mother and genetics. I have the 2 tiny boys from the 4.4 male and a 6 lb mother.
I love to hold Pirogue but it takes 3 of the tinies to equal his size in my arms. LOL It is much easier to hold one Pirogue vs 3 - 3 lb dogs. Love is love and it comes in all sizes and colors. Sylvia |
