| ![]() My first baby (Gizmo) is 15 lbs currently. I love having a larger yorkie because you don't have to worry about his health as much, and he is akc registered. ![]() |

| ![]() My previous Yorkies were always small. When I got HazelNut, she was sapose to be about six pounds or so according to the breeder, MOther 5, father small, don't remember. Well, she's not quite a year old and she 8 pounds plus. She is so much fun, I can walk her, run with her, play a litlle rougher, she is small boned but not as fragile as the previous pups. She's a beautiful little dog, and honestly, I could care less that she is not 5 ponds. Sometimes there ears come up later. I had a portrait painted of a pst pup, the artist wanted to paint it with both the pups ears up, I said no, as that wasnt how she was. Well, not so long after the painteing was done, her ears came up. Be happy you have a healthy dog, adn love it to death. |

| ![]() Preston went to the vet 4 days ago and weighed 13.3 lbs. When he was spayed the first week of March, he weighed 12.2. He is 10 months old. I love the fact that he is bigger because we also have a clumsy 39lb Basset who thinks Preston is her own personal play toy. They can get playing pretty rough sometimes, and Preston always comes back for more. He is pretty sturdy for a small dog. I wouldn't change his size for anything! http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...preston415.jpg

| ![]() The vet officially diagnosed 5.5kg (12lb) Dougal as a throwback. LOLz Everyone always asks me what happened to him! I just say I loved him too much and he grew and grew. :P

| ![]() I've always had larger yorkies, except one that was 5lbs. The sweeties that I have now are 11.3 lbs., 10 lbs., and Max at 6lbs at 9 months. There is absolutely no fat on any of them, just solid yorkie! My vet says they are in great shape! ![]() |

| ![]() My yorkie is one of the most wonderful dogs in the world (to me) and I wouldn't take a million dollars for him and he weighs 10 lbs. He is AKC registered and my vet said he was the perfect size for his build. He has never said anything about him being big or anything. Her vet was out of line. As long as the dog is healthy and happy and your mother is happy with him that is all that matters. |

| ![]() First off I want to welcome you and your mom to YT. ![]() My Zada was 2 pounds at 4 months, and now she is a healthy 10 pound 3 years, 5 months old. My Azrael was 3 pounds at 7 months and now at 3 years, 4 months, weighs over 8 pounds. My Razael was only 2 pounds at 4 months and is now over 5 pounds at 8 months. So you see, they can end up a larger size Yorkie even if they are tiny at 2, 3, or 4 months of age. All of here at YT that have big or small fur-kids are totally in love with them. They are our "kids" for sure!!! |

"In 1872, the Yorkshire Terrier was introduced into the United States, and was recognized by the AKC in 1878. But it wasn’t until the 1930’s that the Yorkshire Terrier took on its modern look. It is important to note that the Yorkshire Terrier up until the 1930’s usually weighed approximately 30 pounds, not the 3 to 7 pounds it does today." So I would say your mother has an original yorkie if anything. | |

| ![]() It is not only yorkies size that can be unpredictable but also other breeds. When I got my bichon, Barney, I met both parents who were approx. 18 pounds. Well, Barney is a whopping 32 pounds. I have had him for 15 wonderful years and I would not change a thing about him. He has been one of the most loving dogs I have ever owned. |
