I don't judge a Yorkie by its size but I do tend to ask that question along with many other questions. If a dog is a very large breed or a toy breed I think people tend to ask how much it weighs. If I saw someone with a Newfoundland (one of my favorites  !) I'd ask how much it weighed. |
I agree with Julz.
Weight isn't a big issue to me. I'm concerned about Tia's weight right now for a few reasons, which are:
1. She's being spayed next Friday (the 17th) and I want to make sure she's big enough so that the operation will go smoothly and safely
2. And I've been buying her a lot of clothes for when she's full grown. So I had to estimate how big she'd grow to be so that I could but the right size in advance (rather then buy clothes that are either too big or too small and then I'd have to give them away and buy more new clothes -- which would be a waste of time and money for me).
But other then that, I could care less how much my babies weigh (as long as they're not over or under weight for health reasons).
