I posted the link for AkC and the quote showing where it was noted: what President and I were talking about the 4-7 pounds reference.
The rest was some nonsense we were talking about going on about teapots and teacups etc. We were just getting silly.

I also checked he AKC website also states, "must not exceed 7 lbs."
Where are all the other numbers coming from?
AKC website: American Kennel Club - Yorkshire Terrier
YTCA website: oops, the link didn't copy correctly. Just click "the official standard" link on the left and it will take you to see the standard for he yorkie. Yorkshire Terrier Club of America
If you scroll down on both pages, they both say "must not exceed 7 lbs." |
From the AKC link: at the top of the page:
"Right Breed for You?
Yorkies are easily adaptable to all surroundings, travel well and make suitable pets for many homes. Due to their small size, they require limited exercise, but need daily interaction with their people. Their long coat requires regular brushing.
