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....

Because a yorkies attitude and personality are one of a kind and when there are people who have COPD like my grandma or other breathing and allergy issues a yorkie is the best choice. I think Yorkies should be like poodles and we should have at least two sizes. I would absolutely buy and love to find a reputable good breeder who breeders a little bit larger yorkies. With Callie being bigger if I got another yorkie my addition would have to be around the same size because Callie likes to play and I would hate to be worried about a new addition getting hurt but my only option would be to adopt one (not that I wouldn't do that any way) and I would love the option of getting one from a great breeder. I am not saying anything over 20 pounds. My yorkies is 16 to 17 pounds and she sits and curls up on my chest with no problem.
