We were actually looking for a bigger, 'old style' Yorkie as we're both so clumsy! Sally + Harry x

I totally agree we have almost squished our 2 lb Bella a million times!!! Tibbs is not so easly stepped on/sat on!

You should join the Teapot club! We are proud of our "over standard" yorkies. My first yorkie is 10 1/2 pounds and the second is 7 1/2 pounds and I couldnt be happier. Some times people will ask you if your yorkie is "real" I like to say if they were imaginary then I wouldnt have to pick up their poo

that's a good one! I'll have to use it the next time I'm asked if Kaji is a real yorkie.

Rory and Lane are almost always the biggest at yorkie meetups. It always cracks me up to see them standing next to the more "normal" sized yorkies! Thankfully, I haven't encountered anyone who thought they were too big to play with their yorkies - that would totally hurt my feelings for them.

One of these is not like the others! Actually in this case, it's really more like two of these (my two to be exact) aren't like all the others who aren't pictured.

Got loads on my husband's camera Britster, but I'm very old (!!!)

and waiting for my daughter to come over and sort it out for me aaargh! I can't wait actually as he's very scrummy (if huge!) even though he's still a baby

I think that is so cute, "teapots"!!

There are so many sizes, I would however be angry if I was told it would be a teenie tiny, and got that big! chloe is 5 months and weighs 3.9 pounds. I think she's considered a "toy" size. She's slowed down on eating, and playing more so I think she will top out around 5 to 6 lbs.

adorable babies!!

Her dad was about 5 pounds, and her mom was 7 before the babies... and she's 6 pounds but longer and taller than both of them and the rest of her litter already! I really like it, being used to big dogs I can cuddle with her more and don't have to worry about breaking her when playing around.

If someone tells you its a tennie tiny you should know better then to actually believe they know what size the puppy is going to grow to.

I love this pic of 4.5lb Bandit and 16lb Jackson..... twins, only.... not.

wow, i really cant believe the size difference. whenever i've seen pics of jackson i thought he looked perfect! but then again i also havent seen many yorkies in my life either! i like jackson's build. Im a teapot lover

even though my little one is tiny, i think any size yorkie is great

First off this picture is adorbale!!!!!

Kaos is the same weight as Bandit, and I have to say I never really noticed how small he is. I guess cause he's always with me.
