As far as carrying 17lbs around, like with a child you adapt as the pup grows...so for Taylor carrying Callie who she has had since puppyhood, carrying Callie is no big deal cuz she developed the strength with Callie's growth. With most people this would be the same. At 90lbs I was carrying around my 40lb child with ease because I adapted the strength as my child grew etc....etc....etc.... I also had to carry Shiner around, my black lab, when he grew weak and lost the use of his hind legs, I had no trouble carrying him around because I loved him so much that I would, "he ain't heavy, he's my brother" pretty much the same for anyone you love...fur or fam!
Taylor is definitely partial to the larger, but I bet she would love a tiny or standard or any pup, cuz Taylor has the biggest heart of anyone I know. I can see where the title would hurt your feelings Taylor and I'm glad the OP explained it because we don't like to see Tiny or Teapot Yorkies being bashed, especially when its one of our own!
OP you may have a bigger pup. Honestly other than my reputable breeder's pup my other pups were nowhere near the sizes I was told they might be, and none of them adhered to growth chart.
Welcome to YT and can't wait to hear how big your pup does or doesn't get. |
What a pleasant, peacemaking post
My little lilah was charting to be between six and seven pounds and I had hoped she would be a bit larger (to go along with that bold yorkie attitude and hold up sturdy and well in my crazy household) and although IMO she is a bit too skinny (vet says she's fine, okay okay) she is a lovely teeny 4 lb 6 oz adorable spitfire and we love her like crazy. After having a visiting/foster pup temporarily around who was a bit bigger I was able to really reaffirm as well that for our family, lilah's size is just perfect
