I have 4 Yorkies. All of them range in size from 2.5lbs to 4.5lbs. I don't think they're fragile or sickly at all. They jump on and off the back side of my sofa. They jump on and off our beds since they first learned how. I think they're more sturdy and solid than the Chi's I used to breed. They have never had any LP problems or any health problems. They go everywhere! I treat them as I treat my 30lb Pug! We go for 3 mile walks daily as well. We go camping and fishing too. I've never treated them as fragile little dogs either. They watch my every move and keep out of our way. They are super intelligent! I'm proud to have them! I have seen 7-10lb Yorkies and IMO they are huge! I have always had small dogs and I didn't want another the size of my Pug! My good friend had a 10lb Yorkie that was the same exact height of my Pug he was mamouth! My hubby said absolutly not if you get another dog it will be the size of our Chi's! BTW on the akc.org it states not to exceed 7lbs nowhere does it say 3-7 lbs or even 4-7lbs. I've looked and looked. |
