My Chloe is 10 months and around 10 lbs. She's tall and long (I tell her she's like a super model!) She is larger than the other Yorkies I know, but also much sturdier (each of them has had surgery for breaking legs).
Before I got her, I had this silly idea of having a tiny lap dog and how much fun it would be to have a tiny dog. I must admit as she grew and grew, I was a bit disappointed that my vision of how it would be to have a small dog was going away. People would even comment how big she was and ask if she was "full Yorkie", I felt as if I needed to carry her papers in my back pocket! However, my love for her has grown each day from the minute she joined our family and with our active lifestyle, realize that she is perfect for us!
All Yorkies are great, from the smallest to the biggest... I have learned that size does not matter, health and happiness are what is important. (Besides at 10 lbs, shes still a pretty small dog!) I wouldn't want her any other way! |
