That size is a big issue because As I stated before, oversize is one of the biggest reasons why yorkies end up in recuses.
It is true that you can get an oversized yorkie out of two standard sized parents which is why it is important to look back several generations.
Many breeders like to breed tiny males to 5 or 6 pound females in hope of getting the tiny puppies. Having the female larger means that she can carry and care for larger litters |
Thank you for the info. That;s why I love this site.
