exactly...the breed standard is 7ish lbs. and below, I mean I don't see people running around trying to get bigger Chis...so why are you trying to get bigger Yorkies, the reasoning just doesn't stand up.
Again, let me reiterate, large and tiny dogs can come from even the best lines, but the best lines and breeders with sound programs will produce these tiny or large Yorkies with little to no health problems.
Many of the people here found their way to YT on a quest to help their ailing pup that's why there are so many here...like myself, many, many, many of us are those who got our dogs from very poor breeding lines..bad breeder, puppymills etc....
