Your dog is within the official standard weight range for Yorkies. You can either try to educate people who ask or just tell them that your dog is a standard Yorkie size. The slang terms for the different sizes of Yorkies have become so prevalent that it is hard to convince some people of the truth. |
Thank you, that's really helpful info and good advice - some people can be quite offensive in their questions... asking why she's not normal or was she a runt!
