It's just a curiosity to see one get that much bigger than 10-12 pounds. Kinda want to see a video of people showing their dogs together by sizes/weight and on the highest scale being a 20-30pound dog and then you see it next to this small 5-7 pound yorkie.
Makes me wonder, how the gene pool is kept "Fresh" if dogs are bred to a specific standard and certain lines being used. I mean how many yorkie lines are out there? Do people ever breed lines from different countries to their own for the sake of replenishing the lines and keeping the lines safe? I dont know much about genetics- it's why I ask. | Occasionally there are "throw backs" but they are not breed for.
