My 4 month yorkie got neutered and micro chipped last week. When the vet assistant filled out the micro chip paperwork, she mentioned that my yorkie was a mix. I was shocked since he is ACA (not sure what that exactly is) and the breeder said he was a full breed. She made this comment because my yorkie is over 7 pounds at 4 months old. She said yorkies don't get that big. I asked the vet about this that day since it kind of bothered me - he said that he was a full breed and that there are two different breeds of yorkies - mine is the larger of the two. He said that Stomper will be between 10-13 pounds! Someone told me that the European yorkies are the big ones and the Canadian yorkies are the small ones. Have you ever heard of this? He looks like a yorkie, acts like a yorkie, but if he isn't a full breed...I DON'T CARE! I still love him.
