Neck is probably 4 inches, lol. I don't even want to know because my boys' tiny necks scare me. Max is 8 pounds, 2 oz, and Teddy is 7.0 pounds.

All of Jackson's weight must be in his full tail, otherwise I don't see where he is hiding those pounds.

Lol, I often wonder where he's packing those pounds too. I'm wondering if quite a bit of it is muscle. I've said before, he was 12lbs for a long time (6 months-1 year) and then at a little over a year, bam! 16lbs all the sudden. But he didn't outgrow anything!

My moms rescue Sammy's neck is just .5 bigger, he is one pound lighter and a little taller other then that they have the same measurements. I am the one who orders there matching outfits for holidays so thats why I had his measurements . He actually might be the same weight as Callie now he was on the thin side when she got him and he looks better now.

Jackson and Callie are almost same measurements!

I think this is funny -- I've had sooo many in real life ask me if he's a Silky, and I had never even HEARD of Silky's until joining YorkieTalk, I had no idea so many knew what they were.

Girth (to me anyway ) is more of a WAIST measurement. Like when she wears a dress it doesn't velcro around her chest in every design ....some of them fasten lower.

That explains why Scarlett is a little wider in the back end, just like mommy.

Girth is below the rib cage, more around the stomach. Think of where you would fasten a saddle on a horse.

Oops. My girth measurements for my boys are actually chest. I'll have to remeasure.

Me too. I made a mistake. I measured Kaji's chest. He's napping now, so I'll measure him once he wakes up. I don't want the yorkie stink eye all afternoon.
