Isn't it odd that the "standard" became less than 7lb when originally Yorkies were bigger so I guess THEN it was the "standard".
I know to those of you that show, it is a big deal. For me, I feel that I'm so blessed that I have two healthy, sweet pups, one "Teapot" at 13 lbs and one tiny one at 4 pounds.
