Shelbie (RIP) was 11 pounds and beautiful! she was very short but kind of long. I used to get so mad when people would say Oh she is big for a yorkie. I would say well if you think about it 11 lbs. is still a very small dog. I didn't mind her size, just the way other yorkie owners would say it. Honestly she was much prettier then their dogs. I love them all whether big or small, I am about to get another yorkie soon and who knows what she will turn out to be.
