I wanted to start this because I have noticed alot of people very focused on that scale. On how much is their dog going to weigh when it grows up. No matter what size our yorkies are we love them and enjoy their companionship, and even a 15lb dog is really small.

I had a really fun experience meeting another really tiny yorkie when I took Maddie out yesterday. He was obviously a bit larger than Maddie, when his owner asked me how much she weighed she almost didn't believe me, Maddie weighs over 1/2lb more. When we held the others' baby I could tell that he was lighter and she commented on how solid Mad was. This was also the same for my boys. When I brought Rocky home I took both him and Copper to the vet Rocky was smaller, but weighed 6lbs Copper at the time weighed just a hair over 4lbs.

I think that the structure is what determines the size, none of us want a skinny or unhealthy pet. I hope that more people will start looking at parents and lines and structure to help determine size, and not focus so much on that number because really size is relative and weight is just one part of it. When people don't want a dog over a certain weight I just think that is silly.

I would love to know what other people think about this.
