He laughed at me and said they come in all sizes and as a matter of fact - the original Yorkies back in the 1800's weighed more like 15 pounds. I felt better and took my teapot out for another walk hoping to drop a tootsie roll on her lawn.  |
lol! so funny. i have seen yorkies all different sizes as well.
the only time i question an owner if her yorkie was a true yorkie was because her yorkie was very large, and had a long muzzle, which i have never seen on a yorkie before. so i asked her if it was a yorkie mix. i am sure she was probably secretly annoyed with me for that question. but she was very nice and told me that although it's large, it's still a yorkie. (i probably should have told her i asked because of the muzzle, not because of size. but i didn't want to be more annoying than i already was
)
