There are many here that have larger Yorkies. I have read of many people who were told their dogs would be about 5 to 7 pounds but turned out to be 10 to 15. People who are breeding show dogs are usually trying to produce dogs that will be 4 to 7 lbs but I'm sure they probably have some that get larger occasionally. It's hard to tell when they are puppies just how large they will get. I don't know how you would get a Yorkie that size from a good breeder unless they had one that was exceptionally large in a litter.

CT can be quite a problem and is way too common in Yorkies. Liver shunt is also prevalent in Yorkies. You will find that it is most common in dogs that have some pretty bad breeding behind them. There are a lot of people taking advantage of people looking for a Yorkie right now so be very careful who you buy from.
