| Is there an average height for yorkies? My boy Bailey is 5 months old and 6 inches in height right now, is there a average height, or do they all vary?

| I think 8-9 inches is average height. |

| After reading this question I was curious about it. So, off to AKC I went, only to find there isn't an answer! There is a weight limit, but not height. It says the dog should have a short back, compact body, length of body the same as height to shoulder. I'm surprised. I'm so used to the toy poodle, cannot exceed 10'' at the shoulder.

| I have seen some champion yorkies that were 10 to 11 inches at the shoulder. The most important thing for correct conformation is that they be balanced. The distance from the top of the shoulder to the floor should be about the same distance as from the shoulder to the base of the tail. |
