Like you -- I didn't get him from a good breeder or anything but I did see his mom and a photo of the dad and they were both smaller than he is now (8 and 9 lbs) so he just kept growing, LOL. Personally, I prefer the look of the "non standard" Yorkies, I love floppy ears (even tho Jackson's aren't floppy) and I love the bigger ones... I don't know what it is, I just do. |
Yorkies can also get their looks from their grandparents, etc. My friends yorkie is only 5 lbs and looks really small but her parents were huge. Her parents were about 3 times her size. He looks like a yorkie to me (Derby).
