Either way, we went with the shelter approach, trying to keep my stepson out of our financial affairs also, and she told us that she paid $250 for hers because he was 14 lbs. and had a slight overbite. I still think she got a great deal on him if he had no health issues and made it 11 years. I didn't see him, but all Yorkies are precious. I haven't seen many Yorkies over 7 lbs.; I know that they were bred down to be smaller, so there must be a gene that keeps the larger size coming back from the past. I'd love to see a bigger one in person. If someone has one, could you post your bigger Furbaby next to an object for comparison in a picture so I could see what they look like? I see people do it with smaller Yorkies and Coke cans, etc., so maybe a bigger one and a hat box (I'm guessing they are that big, I've never seen one, so an object that is relative to their size). I had a Westie before Khloe, but I'm guessing that even a 'big Yorkie' is smaller than a full grown Westie. (:

I would guess so too because yorkies are so 'fine boned' compared to a Westie. Westie's have very sturdy bodies - very strong and with those big strong jaws. None of the largers yorkies I've seen still look as big or as strong as a Westie.
