When did yorkies start getting AKC registered? Because there are certainly plenty of AKC registered yorkies that are 15 pounds +.

The extreme difference in size is surprising to me if there weren't some larger terriers to begin with. I could see maybe going 50% over the max weight limit, but 3x is a lot to attribute to careless breeding. That would be like have German Shepards that weigh between 40 and 120 lbs.
