This is NOT accurate....."true yorkshire terriers" can weigh ANY weight...whether they are accepted in the show ring is not even part of the equation of what defines "a true yorkshire terrier".

ANY breeder of show stopping yorkies, has had throwbacks and produced a tiny in occasional litters....how they handle those tinies is their own preference....they can not be shown as they are way off what is recommended as an acceptable weight for a yorkie, females certainly can not be bred and NO respected, knowledgeable breeder would even go there....I just happen to keep the few tinys I have produced because very few people are equipped to take care of them. But, they are absolutely purebred yorkies!!! Their tiny size is not what qualifies/disqualifies what the breed is!
