Oh! Is it online?

No, it is from one of the booklets I wrote. I never thought about doing it on line. I used to give it, to people when they got a puppy from us. My sisters still show and breed, I don't.
I write how to brochures, booklets and pamphlets. I train puppies and work with fosters. I love being retired. Now I have the time to do what I love, volunteer and work with dogs and Alzheimer's patients.

The parents (Photo link below) seemed pretty legit to me although they were pretty big too. The person from which I bought him told me that they're not toy Yorkies, but since all yorkies are toys what can this be?

They look like pure Yorkies to me!!! They were originally bred to be much bigger than the "standard" 3-7 many years ago.

I know a lot of people think this, but they were originally breed to be under 7 pounds. The foundation sire, Huddersfield Ben, who weighed between 9-12 pounds, regularly sired stock that competed in the under 7 lb. limit and this was over a hundred years ago. Ben died in 1871. Yorkies have always been in the toy category. Also, standard only says must not exceed 7 pounds, there is no lower limit for standard. That of course doesn't mean that that a bigger dog isn't a Yorkie. However, many backyard breeders don't really care about standard, and just breed their pets, so the "average" size might be growing, but this doesn't affect standard.
