| Big yorkies? I dropped Reggie off to be groomed today and when I went to pick him up Sherry had the most gorgeous Yorkie on the table working on her. She was just beautiful and the biggest Yorkie I have ever seen. Not a fat dog, just a big Yorkie. I asked her about it and she said it was one that she had bred and sold as a puppy and for some unknown reason she grew big. She said the owners claim she weighs 15 lbs now. She was sure bigger than Reggie but just beautiful! Has anyone here ever had a Yorkie to get really big? Last edited by anjsmiles; 09-02-2009 at 05:39 PM. Reason: typo |

| I know a lot of people on here have "teapots". My Roscoe is 10+ pounds and my big bundle of love.

| Jackson's 12.5 pounds right now. Love his size, personally. Perfect for me. I know Buddy here on YT (Member name ARCHIE) is 16 pounds, if I remember correctly?

| I just looked at Jackson's pictures and he is adorable. His coloring reminds me a good bit of Reggie's. Reggie is only 3/4 Yorkie though and 1/4 Lhasa and so he has a lot of silvery white coming out on him where Yorkies are usually tan/brown. I looked up Buddy too and he is beautiful. He looks almost just like the Yorkie I saw today. I have to say I like the bigger guys! Sherry said Reggie has so much fun playing today with the big Yorkie and the Lhasa there in the daycare room while waiting his turn. |

| Oh what a pretty Lhasa! You were a cute kid too! Thank you for your compliments on our guy! Reggie is 1 year old now (08/11/09) and weighs 9 1/2 lbs. I am glad that he is on the smaller side like a Yorkie and not as big as some of the Lhasas because they can get pretty big. |

| Here's Reggie today, after being groomed yesterday. He is laying on his favorite spot in front of the back storm door looking out the window. See how much silver white he has now! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...gie/Image3.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...gie/Image2.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...gie/Image4.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...gie/Image1.jpg |

| He's the same color as my Zada. He sure is an adorable boy and boy, does he ever have the perfect place for his snoozer pad. Now he can keep an eye on the outside world.

| I have four Yorkies. 3.6lb, 4.2lb, 4.6lb these are considered "teas" which to my understanding only means that at birth they could fit into a china tea cup. My fourth and most beautiful is four years old, is between 9-10 pounds. He is a blue and gold with the sweetest babydoll face. Thick full coat to the floor that needs to be cut back off the floor about every 6 months. As you know the Queen bread Yorkies down from much larger dogs and in the past couple of decades they have been breeding for smaller and smaller. My personal beleif is that the smaller they become the more they tend to loose in the soft "beauty" that was intended, but gain on the companionship.personal opionion only. My full size, so to speak, is much more layed back than the little ones, not as "yippy", more willing to learn, just as lovable and obviously (I think) better with children because you don't have to worry as much about him getting hurt. He has the soft baby doll face which I have not yet seen in the "teas" which have sharper features. I am no professional but through reading and observation this would be my thoughts.

| That's an interesting observation about the bigger dogs being less yippy. Probably somewhat true too. |

Jackson's bigger and not really a barker. He will bark when a stranger walks in the door, and that's his main thing.

| Buddy is big and is 16.3lbs. He's beautiful in every way. He's big and muscular, not fat at all. He get's many compliments on his good looks. They don't have to be small to be beautiful. |

| Tea Pots/Crock Pots Zack and Zeke could be small at 11 and 13 lbs compared to some of the larger "pups" on YT. I saw a 18-20 lb'er at the groomer two weeks ago when the guys went in for their "fur cuts". Got to admit, more to love.
