My Jake is 19lbs and everyone tells me he can't be a yorkie but he is. He even looks bigger because all my other yorkies are a lot smaller. We call him the big man. He is the healthest out of all my babies and I have to worry about him the least because he is so big. I too get him a puppy cut because long hair just doesn't suit him. Jake is pretty tough but he has a real sweet side to him and the best smile.
