Hi,

My wife and I have and 8# male, a 10 and a 13# female. I TOTALLY agree. We also have Gizmo, our 4.4# dog. I love him because he's so cute and he is good natured, but the 13#'er is my favorite. She has a great personality and makes sure taht you "love on her". I don't feel like I'm going to break the bigger dogs.

They are all very easygoing, loving Yorkies, but we're going to let the 8, 10, and 13#ers go. (I only refer to them that way because in this thread you're talking about wanting a bigger yorkie.) Their names are Candy, Missy (Gidget), and the boy is Cedar. We really want to find them good, loving homes. We JUST got all their shots done.

I just joined on here and saw your thread. I have a sister who lives on the MI/IN border. We could possibly meet up if you're interested. Let me know if you want more info about them. Thanks,
Dean and Kimmie

A few years ago I had a wonderful yorkie male who was probably about 12-14 pounds, and I loved the little guy. I found that his throw-back nature to be great, he had none of the health problems smaller yorkies have. He even seemed to be happier than our smaller 5-6 pound yorkie. He was so attached and bonded to me, as I was to him, and I miss him a lot.

I would really love to have a new yorkie, that would be a good healthy size. The problem with this is-- breeders boast smaller yorkies. I have yet to find one that says "Want an old ancient powerful throw back Yorkie? Who is loving kind and will bond powerfully? So what if they will ever win a competition? Come over here!"

Thank you if anyone has any information!
