There will always be larger Yorkies, not necessarly breed but the genes are still there in the breed. It can't be helped sometimes, however, the tiny ones are deliberately breed to be smaller because they bring in more money. I, for one, would never purchase one. It would scare me to death to have something so small.
All the talk about this breed is not to be believed. If you are not showing why would anyone care so much about size. There will always be larger Yorkies!
Believe me, there is nothing in the world better than to own one. If something
ever happened to Buddy I would purchase another big Yorkie. You have the best of both worlds. They are big enough for families with children and they have what we all love about the breed, personality and a beautiful coat. Carol
