Like my baby isnt a pure breed or something. All i hear from people is............shes sure BIG for a Yorkie--i thought they were suppose to be smaller. First off- i live in a fairly small area and i have only seen 1-2 other yorkies here, so i dont know what there comparing her to? Maddie's a sleek,9 pounder--yes compared to a 3-4-5 pounder she is big. But to me she is average size, and PERFECT !!!! I dont know why i let it bother me, but i just needed to vent. Its like she is looked down on
