The standard according to our breed states 7 pounds and under. This is like looking at the schedule your doctor has which states a male/female a certain
age/body build and height should weigh this amount. Some of us will fit that
measurement others will not. Fact of life nothing more- it does not make us worth any more or less as a individual. The same for our yorkies- they are all still yorkies and the loves of our life. |
Well said. That is exactly how I feel. I know with selling my little ones people are like well I want under 5lbs, 7lbs is just to big. I have to remind them to look at the body structure, the bones, because that can make the biggest difference in weight to size ratio.
My Father-in-law has 5 yorkies and they are all FAT, they feed them hotdogs daily, chicken bones, and crap dog food. He tells me often that he has normal yorkies and he thinks everyone else starves theirs to make them under 7lbs.
I always hold my tongue and smile, while I laugh at him in silence.
