I went ahead and bred him to my female that pulls size down, and she had 5 babies...4 matured from 4.5 lbs up to 5.5 lbs...then the last one took after his father and he weighs a whopping 16 lbs!!! I love him and he is precious, but I named him Cow....my brother said I was hurting his feelings calling him that, so I changed his name to Cowboy....he is a wonderful boy, but these huge yorkies are great....they have all the "joie de vie" and personality of our beloved breed, and he has enough size on him he can play catch with a frisbee and a Nerfball, which he would sell everything I have to anyone willing to throw that frisbee hours on end!!! |
Ha ha, cute story on how he got the name Cowboy! I think those plus size Yorkies are actually a great idea if a family has small children and even for some of us oldsters who worry about stepping on the smaller guys.
