so milu is also a STANDARD yorkie? (she is 3 lbs.) sigh~ so she could be a show dog if i wanted to show her? just curious, because i had thought that milu fail the "standard yorkie' test since she is only 3 lbs.
but i do agree that it's kind of stupid to have "not to exceed 7 lbs." as a description. doesn't make much sense to not have a limit on both ends.
but i don't think 3 lb. is too small. i agree that they are fragile when they are small and i understand that people have to be over protective when they are that small. but is 1 more lb. really going to make that big of a difference? i don't know, maybe it does? maybe that 1 more lb. makes a big difference? |
3lbs full grown Yorkie is not small?
I brought home my 9m week old pup and this is exactly what she weighed> LOL .IMO , this is very small. I know I could not have a grown yorkie in my home this tiny running around all over the place without always scared that she would be hurt. Yes, I beleive a extra LB makes a big difference for such a little dog! A incredible difference. I stil remember when Suzi could jump up and down furniture all by herself, it was a big event , she could do it, and even up and down off the bed! YAY, this met she was safe, and I did not have to worry she was going to break her neck .
I have no idea if your Milu could be shown at his size . I still bet he is a very beautiful dog. I feel like all Yorkies are regardless of their sizes. It just gets scary when they are tiny, and fragile. Because I think they are at more risk of getting hurt. I too, beleive that by The AKC standards their ought to be a size limit for the smaller end .
