OK on to the topic I think all Yorkies are small no matter if they weigh 20 pounds or 1! I grew up with a terrier who weighed about 25 pounds maybe a little less and I always considered him a small dog, then we got the lab and I believed that even more! Now when all three are together I just laugh they are so cute, the lab being Rusty 70 pounds, Sam 25 and Porscha 3! So to anyone who thinks a 15 pounds Yorkie is big, let my lab run into you at a hundred miles an hour in my back yard and see if you think a Yorkie is big then heheheh!!!! |
I can't believe it! You sound just like me! My daughter said I needed a Yorkie after my Peke died. I never knew much about them either---they were dogs, weren't they? Well the same thing happened as what happened to you. She was alone in a cage. very dirty and stinky. She was the runt of the litter, and my heart said, get her out of there! She also weighs 3#, and is a wonderful pet. However, she has bad knees, and am hoping I can keep her from surgery. The vet showed me what they had to do, and it freaked me out and I took her home. She doesn't cry or anything, but once in a long while, it will lock and she walks on three legs for a minute.
Like you, it wouldn't matter what she weighed. Although I must admit I wanted a small dog just for convenience sake. My Peke weighed 14 #, and that was a small dog in my opinion. I have bad arthritis, and just didn't want a really big dog.
