Welcome to YT. I've got a 12.5 pound boy myself. I think Jackson (Britster's dog) is 15. The AKC standard says not to exceed 7 pounds, but they are still all Yorkie, just supersized .

The biggest thing to keep in mind with a smaller dog is that they still have a high nutrient need, but smaller stomachs. Feed the best quality food your guy will eat. These guys are highly energetic.

They are also more prone to certain things such as dental problems. Spend some time around here and you will learn a lot. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures.
