I was told by someone on Saturday night that my Sophie cannot be a real Yorkie because she is too big (she is 8lbs). I tried to tell her that Yorkies are all different sizes and I have heard of 15lb Yorkies (Sophie's dad was 14lbs). She said she breeds Yorkies and hers are always between 3 and 6lbs. I couldn't believe she was telling me I don't have a real Yorkie because of her size (there is only a 2lb difference between her 6lb and my 8lb). Has anyone else experienced this; someone telling you they must be mixed with something else because Yorkies do NOT get that big? BTW, she did not even see my puppy; she was only going by what I told her.
