We got both of our dogs from a family that happened to have a couple of litters (they were not breeders). It's even hard to find people who will believe that she was a purebred. Anyone have any ideas?
I couldn't say for sure in your area where to buy a larger Yorkie. Most serious breeders try to keep their breeding program within the standard weight which is I believe is 7lbs at the largest. But that is not to say they do not at times have somewhat larger dogs since no one can prevent such a thing happening occasionally.
Many of the people here on YT that have larger Yorkies bought them from people promising a much smaller mature weight. Your best bet is to go and look at the parents to get an idea of what size the owners pups will actually be. If you have trouble getting to see both parents I would advise you to move on. The breeder should at least have pictures of the sire.
