I knew that "breed average" sounded familiar to me..The only place I've seen that is in my Yorkies for Dummies book..here is that exact quote from their website!!!
"Compact and well-proportioned stature: Size and body structure matter. The breed standard stipulates that Yorkies must not be over 7 pounds and, on average, adult Yorkies fall between a petite 5–7 pounds. (Remember, however, that some Yorkies are smaller and some are larger.) In terms of body structure, everything should be in proportion and just, well, fit."
It doesn't quite say breed average..but I guess this is what you mean, Kim..HUH?
