My aunt has a yorkie that is 2 years old and weighs just under three pounds. I'm just trying to find out if there has been maybe a larger size of yorkie or if they can get bigger than the standard 8 pounds as listed on wikipedia. |
Welcome to YT
Yes Yorkies can get a lot bigger than the standard 7 lbs...My girl is 9.6 lbs I have a friend and her Yorkie is 10 lbs and there are a few YT members who have 15 lb Yorkies all full blooded...AKC standard for a yorkie is not to exceed 7 lbs...all good breeders try to breed to standard but sometimes you get one thats not standard...Back Yard Breeders will breed a 9 to 10 lb bitch and thats where you get the larger yorkies cause they don't breed to standard. Hope this helped answer your question.
