Yea Ive been doing alot of thinking on this this morning because I do have a larger yorkie and I do see the benefit of a larger yorkie but there is also that if you increased the weight of the yorkie the way a yorkie is supposed to look would change. Bigger yorkies are usually rectangular not square, they usually have longer muzzles and so on.
