[Willows Mom]

I have a 7 month old Yorkie. Willow weighs 10 pounds. His vet says he is not over weight and that the weight can vary with Yorkies. Willow is register with UKC. Many people ask me why is he so big and is me mixed (not that it matters to me). I guess people tend to think of all Yorkies top off at 3 lbs and fit in your purse.

My question is...Why doesn't the AKC accept Yorkies that weigh more the 7 LBS(what I was told) ?

What is the difference between UKC and AKC ?

Willows mom weighed about 8 to 9 lbs. His dad only weighed 3 to4 lbs. He is so beautiful and I love him regardless,however I would like to be able to respond to the many the questions of ,is he mixed? Not all Yorkies are small,but most think so for some reason.
Willow's picture is on my avatar,as you can see he is just darling.
