[QUOTE][QUOTE=hi everyone! i haven't posted in quite a while but i had to reply to this thread. it drives me NUTS when idiots stop me on the street to pet Mojito and then ask, is he a yorkie? he's so big, why doesn't he bark, why isn't he all silver yet (duh, he's only 8 months old), why isn't his coat long - come on!!! when he was at 3-4 months and weighed 3 and change pounds folks asked the same thing b/c his nose looked long (to them, not me). well, he grew into his muzzle and he's certainly grown into his 8 pound body. i'm not sure when he'll be done filling in but i love that he's a spunky, energetic and totally healthy yorkie. my husband says he's barrel chested - lol!

I have several friends with Yorkies, a total of 6 dogs between us. They are all on the small side (under 5.5 lbs) but look completely different. Some are short, some taller, some long, some more husky. It's funny that they are all the same AKC breed!
I think most people are only familiar with one Yorkie that a neighbor had or they saw on a dog show but they all look different. Like people.
