Yorkies were this size until 1860's and 70's, when a 12 pound dog by the name of Huddersfield Ben regularly sired stock that competed in the under 7 lb. Ben is thought to be the foundation sire of the breed. So perhaps your dog just has lots of Ben in him!


Yeah, prehaps she does. On another note how come when you read the book that Petsmart has on Yorkies it says they will weigh up to 20 lbs. But anywhere else online it says the yorkie should not weigh more then 7lbs?

To me Cici turned out great since I do have the other two dogs and they play with her.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate.
