The intent is to keep them under 7lbs, but if you occasionally get one or two that are over, that's fine as they make good pets. But my concern would be that people would then think it's ok to breed these bigger yorkies and then size/weight could keep creeping up & up. If I wanted a big breed I would have bought a big breed dog. I wanted a lil dog, and while she's bigger than both the breeder & I thought she'd be, she's still a lil dog & she's perfect for me. |
Both of mine are 'off standard' in at least one way...Mia is golden, which is not just a fault but a disqualification. But...both are wonderful pups, great friends, beautiful, perfect companions AND still little dogs.
I would not want to see the standard changed...although I do think a 'Standard Poodle' sized Yorkshire Terrier with full coat flowing to the floor would be GORGEOUS!!! With the Yorkitude, I don't think I'd be able, or want to try, to wrench a toy from its mouth, however...lol
