I don't know why the # on the scale makes such a statement as to being "big" or "tiny". My first Yorkie, Ivy Lucille aka Lucy (RIP) weighed in at 13 pounds. her features were big and she was solid. She seemed big but it was how she was and I never gave it a thought. I loved her! I now have Mayzie who was just weighed the other day and is at her highest at 8.2 pounds however, she is very petite but long. She is 3 yos. Her features are dainty and doesn't seem "big" to me. Mo is 5.4 and to me he is tiny and I would in no way want him any smaller. He is cobby and is almost 6yos. To me they are both perfect but when strangers or friends (some) see them together, Mayzie gets slighted it seems in the attention department because she is viewed as HUGE! Ugh, it is very frustrating.
