| I know how you feel! Right now I have a 4lb, 6lb, and a 12lb (who should be 8lb.... eek we are working on that) and I am told ALL the time that they are big and they know so-and-so who has a teacup that is a lot smaller than my little one.... That's great for so-and-so... but don't act like mine are any less of a dog because they are bigger.

| Someone posted a thread similar to this, and told the women that she was bigger than average, also. People can be so tackless sometimes.

YorkieTalk Newbie! | I feel you. My moms yorkie, B'anka is rather large to. She has always been on the bigger side since she was about 2. She may even be bigger than your yorkie. B'anka is about 10 pounds or more, maybe. I'm not exactly sure. But she is very big. So dont let it get to you. Your yorkie is perfect. |

| 9 pounds is PERFECT and hardly begger than the breed standard.... which really is kind of a silly standard nowadays seeing as how yorkies can be 2-25 pounds haha! Mine are 2 and 4 pounds and I wish so much that they were 9..... they are too fragile when they are tiny and there is more to cuddle and play with when they are bigger! Tell those dumb people to shhhhhh!!!!!!! Your baby is PERFECT!

| I know that you said she is average size, but I consider 9lbs. to be a small dog. I have a 9 and a half pound Yorkie and also a 22lb. and even my bigger guy is a small dog. Maybe it's because people are used to seeing 5 or 6lb. Yorkies, but your fur baby is still a small dog (and cute!) Tammy |

| I agree with you! I have one that is 4 and a half, one that is 5 and a half, one that is almost 9 and a half and my big guy that weighs 22lbs. Out of my four, Izzy is my absolute favorite size/weight...she my 9 and a half pound Yorkie. |

| I have a 7.5 lb bruiser...lol. JJ...My boy was "supposed" to be 4 lbs full grown and passed that at 4 months. I also get all the breed questions. Fact is...I'm glad he got bigger than expected. He is just as cute as he was at 2 lbs, but he can get up the stairs, on the couch and I don't worry about his best friends (my 3 cats) hurting him as much as I did before. |

| I heard that a few times when Stella was only 4.5 lbs! So ridiculous. She's tall, but I like it, because she's FAST. That's what I would've told them...or something along the lines of "well what's an average human then?" |
