[QUOTE=yorkieusa][QUOTE=shelbysmom]I am glad your Harley is healthy and you don't care about his size. I am sure you know that large does not necessarily mean healthy, any more than small means unhealthy. Extremely large Yorkies may even have some other mix in their background. (see below)
I personally don't care what size a Yorkie is, they are all adorable. I *do* care about their health though. Since 7lbs. is the standard I wonder how many large Yorkies "teapots" come from
reputable experienced breeders that are trying to stay pure to the standard. I imagine it's the same amount that end up with tiny "teacup" ones.

How terribly nice of you to enlighten those of us who are so uneducated about yorkies. I also find it interesting that you don't care about their size; just their health.
Puleeeeeeeeze spare us in the future.  |
Yea, I'm kinda confused on that one too.. Bc if you don't care about their size then do you really care about their health? Both go hand in hand. The reason I say I don't mind Harley being 9lbs and over the standard is bc he came from a normal correctly bred litter and just so happened to be a bigger pup. But if you don't keep their size in mind when breeding then you're running yourself in the ground with potential health risks bc their size does matter and beyond that you're "diluting the breed" by not breeding to the correct standard.. I'm so off topic I think.. Geesh!
But no matter how big or small they are still yorkies! I
