Here's the clencher -- Luma and Rosie have the SAME sire and dam but born a year apart. Rosie was not the runt of the runt of the litter but at 2.6 lbs at 6 months old she will obviously end up smaller thann luma. Not what I intended, I had hoped they'd be the same size because Luma is perfect to me, but I love them both the same!
It really, really bugs me that Luma is always ignored, because cute=smaller the better, at least to some people. This is why dogs end up in the shelter. All these threads about oh my yorkie is too big....WHY does it matter? Goodness...its all just so sad... A yorkie is a yorkie. |
I agree, the smaller ones attract most of the attention! When we take our three out in public, it is hard not to get stopped by people who want to admire them. Even though, Max is a healthy 6.2 pounds and Teeka around 4 pounds, people think they are all teacups! I really think it has a lot to do with the height & bone structure and where you live. We live in Iowa and the yorkies are larger than standard. So when people see ours, they think, "Teacup" People really don't give tons more attention to Tatiana than to Max or Teeka. People are just curious about the breed!
