I don't breed or show so probably shouldn't answer but just can't help myself . I would prefer not to see the oversize Yorkies bred. I think they are part of the reason for everyone asking for "teacups". So many times, people are surprised (as you are) with how large their Yorkies turn out to be so as a means of insuring that does not happen, they ask for a very small dog. There is just so much variation in Yorkies regarding size and color. I wish we could get to the point where when you buy a Yorkie pup you would at least know it would be less than 7 lbs and some shade of blue and tan silky coat with erect ears.

I hope that wasn't offensive. I didn't intend it to be and I am one of those that paid extra for a small dog just because my previous Yorkie had turned out to be 10 lbs. with floppy ears.
