all the sites ive seen says there is no lower weight limit but small ones should not be breed with. also yes there should be a breed standard but it should be whats best health wise for the dog and looks were at the moment its just on looks and who cares about the health of the dog thats my point. ive had breed standard and ive had large yorkies so i do know about both, my scampi in his younger days was about 7 pound perfect coat and had 5 or 6 cruff champs in his pedigre but why should he be allowed in the show ring but a dog who is perfect in everyway apart from there 3 pound heavyer isnt allowed. poodles have 2 sizes as do other breeds, breed standard changed due to fashion and should now be changed again.
