I don't know, when I first saw a yorkie it was a tiny one, just about 3 and a half pounds and was the sweetest thing I had ever met! I absolutely fell in love with him and knew I had to have one. When I went looking for one I did want him to be AKC and be within the standard just because that was what I was looking forward. If I wanted a "bigger" dog (I put that in quotation marks because 13 pounds isn't really big just big for a yorkie) I would've gone with a different type of dog. Just like if I wanted a great dane I wouldn't want one that was 40 pounds, in buying a yorkie I wouldn't want one that was over the standard. I think they are cute but for my lifestyle I don't think a bigger one would be as happy here as my tiny ones are. |
