12lbs is still pretty small, but I know what you're saying. I did some research a while back and there was a time when breeders couldn't contact each other to get different lines to breed their dogs together. Some of them ended up using silky terriers, so it might be a throwback to those dogs which are that size. All yorkies used to be that big as well, so I wouldn't base being purebred on that. As long as the guy loves his dog, that's what counts the most. I LOVE big yorkies anyways. I just want to hug them! One of the cutest yorkies I've seen on the internet is Sully, who is a YT memeber's dog. He is so cute, has a beautiful coat, and looks so huggable! |
