When I got our babies I really read books and searched on line everything about the breed. All the books would say that the standard size would be a yorkie at a mature weight of 4-7 lbs. I use to have two Doberman and I am always partial to big breeds but when my husband asked me if I wanted to get yorkies from our friends who are selling them I said aren't they small? I reluctantly went to look at them anyway but I fell in love with them right away and can't go home with just one. So we got two...Cleo & Ceasar. Now that the Yorkie breed is so popular and the smaller your yorkie is the more "IN" you are I always get comments about how big my babies are or they are not the teacups.
I hate it whenever people would make comments like that. I feel like they want to make their babies better than my furbabies. I am happy now that there are a lot of us who have BIG ONES and they are as lovable and precious as the tiny ones. Ceasar is 7.6 lbs. and Cleo is 5.3 lbs. as of yesterday. Both are from the same litter and are now two years old. I attached some photos and one of them is a photo of me walking them at the beach. They still looked so small...don't they?/
