So all this only applies to breeders not pet owners, we can purchase the size dog we want. If I had children, I'd be looking for the biggest yorkie I could find!  A bigger dog is such a joy to hug. |
Oh I see I didnt know 7 lbs is the limit to be considered a toy dog. I dont know Im on the fence on my views about weight because of the reasons Ive given but I do see the purpose of them being in the toy grouping
