Hi, I have had 4 yorkies, weights ranged between 10 to 17 lbs, all were pedigrees and AKC registered (if that matters today lol) my last girl was 17 lbs, a big beautiful girl. I had many ppl TELL ME she was NOT a yorkie, ppl that never owned a yorkie, just saw other ones. I had many ppl tell me she had to be a Silky because of her size. My answer's were mostly "what ever" because I got tired of trying to educate stupid non yorkie owners that yorkies come in all sizes. If I had my choice I would want another 17 lb baby, they are much more sturdier then the standard. Ignore these ppl. If you were looking to show your pup then weight / size would matter, if you are looking for a loving pet, weight / size matters not. If you run across this person again and she makes that comment, don't even answer her. Now you have heard of a 17 lb yorkie. She past this Oct. 2013 at age 17 y/o, her picture is in my album, she was a gorgeous girl. My newly adopted 3 y/o lil boy is 12 lbs.
