Hi welcome to yt, I know you love your furbaby regardless of size. Rocke is 6 months old @ five pounds. My daughter says he is big, but he is not really. I think its really better when they have size on them; because if the little ones ever get sick and lose weight you do not want them too small.

I used to work at a grooming shop/dog boutique. A lady with an accent called to make an appointment with us for the first time. I thought she said she had a pekingese so made the appointment and told her the basic price. Well, when she dropped of her pekingese, it was a Great Pyranese! She had said pyranese, not pekingese! Haha..when I came into work, the groomers told me to go look at my pekingese LOL. I had to call her back and tell her i had missunderstood her and that the price was more which she understood...she said she thought the price I had quoted seemed awfully cheap.

Ha! That's nothin'! My little Jackson is 12 1/2 weeks old and already weighs 4 lbs.! He still has ALOT of growing left to do! lol 7 lbs. is still within the standard, but even if your baby gets bigger than that, what does it matter unless you're planning on breeding?

My other yorkie is 4.4 lbs. full grown, and he is VERY tiny. Although he is very healthy, he has always seemed somewhat fragile to me (even tho he's not). Jackson, on the other hand, is STRONG! Nothing even remotely fragile about him! lol

Size is very unimportant to me because I am not breeding them or showing them, they're my babies. They are healthy, and that's what matters to me.

A 7 lbs. dog is still a VERY small dog and is quite easy to pick up, actually. They can still be a lap dog.

My 12# teapot Dayzee is a lapdog and she will fight you if your disagree.

You're misunderstanding me! My first yorkie is 14 lbs. Sheila wrote she has one 14 lbs. also! Yeah, 7 lbs would be like lifting a feather, 14 lbs is NOT easy to pick up

My 10 lb shih tzu is also a lap dog, and she's not that hard to pick up, but, you go lifting on a 14 pound dog with one arm, and it not being the best arm in the world, it's kind of hard!

I would never give him up,but, your right about not being able to carry him under my arm or in a purse like the personalities do

[diggy4]

Im not positive but someone on here has a 25 pounder...I wanna say maybe Nicole (Ozziesperson) and I think Buddy is a lrger yorkie also


I absolutely LOVE teapots.....I mean like 15+ pounders to me they are just sooooo cute. Bella ended up 4.11 pounds so then I go to get my boy hoping he'd be a lil bigger than her and even a lil over standard

Well at 8 months 3.5 pounds.....WOuldnt trade him for the world but like they say yorkies are like a box of Chocolates!!!

Never know ....

His color is changing again..from silver back to black..... LETS SEE PICTURES !!!

AMEN!!!! My baby is 2 lbs and I did not start out looking for a runt, just turned out that way! And YES, they are runts....not teacups! Don't get me wrong, I love this runt with all my heart and would do anything for her....but the smaller ones are so high maintenance and have can have many health issues....just look at poor Natalie, bless her little enlarged heart!

If I am ever lucky enough to own another Yorkie I will be looking for one that will be big and healthy! And I know that breeding makes all the difference in the world.
