Before I ask this, don't get me wrong. I'm not a German Nazi when it comes to my puppy meeting breed standards and size standards and all that. I think that all that gets a little bit ridiculous, I'm actually quite disgusted at the whole system of registration and standards.

But, I do want to make sure that I didn't get cheated.

I have a beautiful 5 month old yorkie. She has the coloring and look of any other yorkie I've ever seen in pictures... but she's big. She's almost 7 pounds, 11 inches tall and 13 inches long. She's larger than any other yorkies she hangs out with, and much younger, I'm almost self-conscious for her. She has the stereotypical yorkie temperament as well. She is CKC registered, her mom was AKC and her dad was CKC (or vice-versa). I never plan on showing her, and it's not going to change how much I love her, but I was just curious if this was a normal thing or if I got hosed.

Thanks!
