I'd be scared to death of a 50 lb yorkie if it were like Lizzy. She thinks she's a big dog already at 7.5 lbs. |

the idea of a giant yorkie does make me laugh, but there's just no way i could to it! think about: ~bathing, then shaking off, with long, flowing locks!:eek: ~her jumping up & down off me when she realizes we're going bye-bye:yay_jump: ~being able to just pick her up when she's adamant about eating the neighboring huskie:fainted: ~the "yorkie laundry":asleep: ~her pouncing me in my sleep..ouch!:2omg: guess i love my baby just the way she is...all 7 pounds of her!:love: :hug: |
Well, I'd definitely need a much bigger bed for my 4 if they were giants:D Maybe 2 king size beds instead of 1. |
Terrifies me..if a 5lb Yorkie acts like 50 pound dog...what would a 50 pound Yorkie act like...? Eeeeeek! |

Shhhh... No one has told Rhett that he doesn't weigh 50 pounds. Even the lab across the street is afraid to tell him :) And I would really hate to wrestle a 50 pound dog for my pillow, I hardly ever win as it is. I agree with Brit, though. I'd like to see the standard increased a bit to try and discourage the purposeful breeding of the really tiny ones. 7 pounds is small, but so is a 10 pounder. The difference in the muscle mass though seems like night and day. |

I'm thinking none of the original breeds used to create the Yorkie were over 25lbs so...not sure the standard should be changed (or even want to go there as many may take offense) but agree further downsizing should be discouraged (not to for any reason other than the health issues that are more prevalent). Interesting food for thought though.:thumbup: In the same breath Great Danes were bred to be so oversized they have shorter life spans and health issues... |
I remember a Huddersfield Ben or something like that? Or was he just a founding stud or something??? |
Mr. and Mrs. M.A. Foster of Bradford, in West Yorkshire England, owned Huddersfield Ben...yes that's what I was referring to but I'm not sure what it means in it saying he was the linebred (?) and the founding father of the breed (foundation sire of the breed) I understand he was a not Yorkie as we know them now is but the whole founding father thing confuses me personally...I see was best in show, second places etc... |

That sounds like fun!! but i if i had a 50 pound Yorkie, i would probably die of suffocation!!!! :yikes: Chloe likes to sleep on my neck and she is just 5 pounds!! and Melody sleeps on my tummy she is 9 pounds!! 100 pounds on my neck and tummy... mmm... i'll pass!! i do love my little crazy furbutts... big and small!! :) |
I don't think we could handle a 50 lb yorkie if it was anything like Zach. We have 2 Basset Hounds that weigh 55 and 57 lbs and we can just about handle them. Mind you they are very laid back and they think they're lap dogs. |
LOL you are all right! They would be too much to handle! Haha, but I just think how cool it would have been to have the different size options. :D Yes, can't have enough of them! So cute and crazy lol but now that I give it a second thought I am always thanking God for making Nina 5lbs. since she thinks of herself as a rottweiler and OMG she is hard to handle when she wants to eat my neighbor's german shepherd! Oh well! I will keep on dreaming! :aimeeyork |
All I know is this thread is cracking me up!!! |
