My Yorkies are both above the standard 7 pounds. I worry more about Max's weight, but the vet says he is good because he has a visible waist and tummy tuck. He has very muscular shoulders and upper legs. We call him the Air Jordan of Yorkies because he can catapult his body in incredible ways, forward and backwards.
Your boy is adorable.
