I think people make those comments because breeders have truly done a great job convincing the public that Yorkies should be itsy bitsy. most people have never seen a yorkie of a healthy weight, let alone one if the larger babies. Rhett is 14 pounds. My newest neighbors have a bigger boy who could be Rhett's twin. They were shocked when I met them and told them what an adorable yorkie they had. They weren't used to having anyone know what he was.
To be honest, if I hadn't lurked around YT for a year before I got Rhett, I might not have ever known, either.
