I went to visit another rescue Foster Mom who happened to have a larger Yorkie tipping the scales at 20 lbs! When I commented on his size (respectfully), she informed (& educated) me that originally & way back when...Yorkies were not bred to the sizes that we're accustomed to seeing today at the standard 3-7 lbs. but, much bigger.

To see her big boy, "Joaquin"...go to Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue Adoptions and Shop & click on available rescue & scroll down till you see his adorable self...now that's a cutie!

Looking for a New Home...

With that said, I have a variety of sized Yorkies...2 - Teapots & one average sized...Bella, tipping the scales at 12 lbs, Abby at 9 lbs. & Phoebe at 6 lbs. and they are all adorable & at healthy weights for their frames.

Whoever is rubbing you the wrong way, I say...well, I can't say that word but, just ignore their rudeness!

So far nobody has said anything about Puddin'; except "she soooo cute!" But based on her current size (1.8kg---3.9 lbs at 13 weeks) she's going to be a big girl.

People DO ask her breed, but I always assume it is because Yorkie pups look so much different from the adults that they don't recognize her. When I take her out she is always dressed in something...a onesie (which I modify for better fit and cuteness) or a nappy or a pretty harness vest...so she pulls in a lot of cute comments.

But if someone were to make a rude comment about her size, I would likely respond in kind: "That's a rather rude thing to say, don't you think?" Let them walk away with the red face.
