I saw both parents, female 6 lbs and male 5lbs. He was from a litter of 5, he was the only large one of the litter. 3 females who go 5 to 6 lbs and the other male was 5 lbs. He is the only one that stayed dark like the father. And it is true that the orginal yorkies were bigger dogs, at one time there were two classes of yorkshire terriers, those under 5 lbs and those over. These were shown in England. If you go way back in the breed history they were usually around 10lbs. |
