I have to wonder what you would think if someone made a post asking "what is the fascination with larger yorkies -- why would anyone want one that big?" Wouldn't that be sort of on the mean side and maybe trying to cause some hard feeling? |
I'm not trying to start anything, but I think your response here is kind of harsh. She was just asking a question - if you're offended by it, don't respond, and move on to another thread. If you really want to get specific, the original Yorkshire Terrier was 12-14lbs and the standard size has grown smaller as the years have passed.
There is this stupid craze over "teacup" yorkies - it's a fad - and I don't care what anyone says, the tiny yorkies... in the 1-3lb range are very much more prone to getting hurt. My little guy is 3lbs and has hurt himself several times by falling or jumping from too high. I definitely wish he was larger.
