I'm really sorry if I offend anyone, but I have to get something off my chest. I'm tired of hearing: I bought a 2lb Yorkie, and I don't want her to get over 3lbs, what do I do? Who the heck cares how big your Yorkie is going to get? (I'm talking pet wise, not breeders who need a smaller standard with a bigger male standard, ie. boy 5lbs, girl 7lbs) No, seriously, are you not going to love her if she gets over 7lbs? What's the big difference between a 3, 4, 7, 10lb, etc. Yorkie? I just don't get it. All those weights are STILL small! And, personally, I don't agree with the AKC standard of "only" up to 7lbs (just my opinion). Didn't Yorkies used to be 20lbs?
Now I wanted to know Baby's adult weight for one reason, what size clothes should I buy that she won't grow out of!
Because when I got Baby they told me that she would be 5-6lbs. I said, okay, whatever. When I brought her to the vet, he said Baby would be 7-8lbs. I said, okay, whatever. She's my "Baby" and frankly, I don't give a darn.
I really didn't write this thread to start a fight, I just don't get the whole weight issue. If you have a Yorkie, be happy with her regardless, don't fret over "Oh my Gosh, I don't want her to be over ____ lbs." Hey, maybe that's why so many furbabies have hypoglycemic episodes...people don't want to overfeed. I pride myself on the fact that Baby never had one episode, and she didn't want to eat when she was young either. I gave her water and Nutrical and hand fed her (changed food a million times too). I was on top of her every second. And please don't take this the wrong way and think I'm blaming all the parents that their furbaby had an episode. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just making a comparison to some possibilities, that's all.
I'm also not saying that 3lb Yorkies are not cute; I think they're
all cute. I just want to know, really, why so tiny?
PS. I want to thank all of you in advance for your comments. And those who know me on YT know that I speak my mind and am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings.
