I may be wrong, but is a Yorkie only supposed to be 7 lbs. and under, or is that only by AKC standards? Are CKC standards for larger ones? Or perhaps it is past genetics from the larger breeds in the past showing back up?
CKC (Canadian) is the same. Or at least I think it is, I don't show but my breeder and I talk about showing a lot, and I've groomed for her at shows before.

I know a 10-15lb Yorkie. his name is Newton, and we always joke that he ate way too many Fig Newtons.. I absolutely adore him, he's a lot heavier than my little 3lbs boy, he's like a big fluffy teady bear, next to my little beanie baby.
