Troy is our fist yorkie and at the time of his purchase my daughter was 5 years old. I thought he would have grown to be about 6-7 pounds and Troy just stopped at 4.5lbs. I wanted him bigger at the time because my daughter was younger. He is healthy and happy. People think he's tiny but he's within breed standard.
Honestly, I think that if he was any bigger than 6-7 pounds it would be difficult for me to take him everywhere we go. I travel with Troy and he goes just about everywhere I can take him when we leave the house. So a 13 pound dog wouldn't get that opportunity in our family.
During summer months when we ride bikes, he goes in the basket. I like his totability per se.
I think the larger bred yorkie isn't going any where actually. Breeders pay close attention to pedigree and hope that their science works.
