Wow...several years ago I had a precious Yorkie that was about 12-14lbs. I thought she was huge. Now I think she must have just been a little larger that normal. She had the best personality and was great for long walks. I really miss her...now I have a tiny bundle of energy that is 1.27lbs. (only 5 months old) What a difference in size.... |
Thats one big Yorkie:) |

A 44 lb yorkie, my goodness, this MUST go in "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" Now I can see Harvey pushing your GS off your lap lol,and your GS saying "YES SIR" lol. I do believe you DO have the BIGGEST Yorkie. |
A couple of weeks ago I was at the vet, an elderly man was there with a wee lil yorkie. Because Cody wanted to take on the entire waiting room of dogs he called a bit of attention to us. The tech took the wee one to the back for it’s shot, the elderly man asked me what breed Cody was:rolleyes: OMG, Cody is ONLY 12Lbs, he should have seen my gorgeous 17Lb girl, boy would I LOVE to borrow Harvey lol. I cannot believe ppl have never seen a yorkie over 5 Lbs. BLOOD was dripping from my mouth from biting my tongue not to him a snarky reply as I sweetly replied he’s a 12 Lb yorkie. |
Harvey is a true one off , I've written to the kennel club to confirm all his line were Yorkies . I'm glad he's so large though at 6ft 2 and 16 and half stone I'm not small and he suits me lol |

Yorkies were breed a lot bigger way back in the day. They are hunters and needed size to capture their pray. As time went on the Royal people of England wanted more of a fu fu dog, lap dog. So as breeding went on they would breed the runts of each litter. Didn't take too long to decrease their size. I saw a picture of my breeders great grandfather with 2 Yorkies that weighed 20lbs. They were gorgeous! Also, the larger Yorkies back then seemed to be a lot healthier. |
