I have heard there is an awkward stage in puppy development. Can Yorkies go through a stage (like at 7 weeks) where their legs look too long? Ben had very short legs when we got him at 10 weeks. Sadie's legs look about as long as Ben's are now. She looks like an awkward teenager who has gotten too long in the leg before the rest has grown. I just love her no matter how she turns out, but I am paying premium $$ for her and really would like her to be in standard. She is just beautiful and her mother and father were gorgeous as well -- with perfect proportions. She looked nicely proportioned until this last week. Then it seemed like only her legs had grown since previous visit.

I feel bad asking -- sounds like I am being critical of her and really the awkiness just sort of endears her more to us. But if you have had a longer legged yorkie puppy even up as she grew, please let me know. Thanks.
