I was searching as to why my Yorkie, Jet, is 17lbs and found this site. I have 3 Yorkshire terriers. Jet, my big guy, is lazy and lovable. It's just who he is and although he's chubby, he's solid as well. Jet was very tall as a puppy, definitely not your standard requirements for a Yorkie. His legs were long early and he sort of filled out to his height with weight looking large put more proportionate. He has a beautiful Yorkie face but his features are larger.. basically the black part of his nose (not the length of his snout)
Bebe, my 4 year old girl is 8lbs. She's a perfect size, not too tiny to cuddle with and tiny enough to carry around. Unlike Jet's colors of Black and tan, Bebe is blue and gold. Very pretty with her long eyelashes. However, Bebe is longer than the average Yorkie required body length from head to tail. Just a tad, but enough to notice.
Bear is my little man, he just turned 3. He is tiny tiny about 5lbs on a good day and is mostly gray and tan.. (black and tan as a baby) He's got a great, very happy personality. He is perfect but some may say, a little small. I noticed one thing that may be a hint as to determining how big your Yorkie will be. I think the size of their features as babies say alot. If they are bigger. Tea cups or smaller Yorkies have very tiny features.. everything is smaller, medium size Yorkies have a little more to thickness to their features and so on.
I guess since I literally have "Small, Medium & Large" in my Yorkie family, this became apparent to me. Just thought I'd share it with you.
