I know that you all know this but, teacup Yorkies are not a separate breed. Big yorkies are not non-yorkies. Yes the standard is 7lb to about 5(agree w/ Rachel) but, due to genetic variation some dogs tend to be larger or smaller. Mine is 13.5 lbs. He isn't breed standard, but he is a good family pet, a Yorkie, and my baby!
