The vet said Boomer was big for a yorkie. 1 Attachment(s) Boomer went to the vet for the first time since I got him yesterday for a check up. He has ear mites, but no worms or anything else to be concerned about , so yay! He goes in next week for his first round of shots. One thing bothered me, though. The vet told me that he was really too big to be a Yorkie. He's two months and already he's five pounds. Our vet said that if he had to guess, he would say that boomer is a mix. When I told him that I have the papers to have him registered, he just told me that with those it's more of an honor thing. I dunno. I think Boomer looks like a Yorkie, especially in the face. Do any of you know how big a Yorkie can get? What the vet said really made me think he's not a Yorkie, I mean, I'll love him the same regardless, but now I'm just curious. |
A biewer? |
He's a Parti. |
dog He is adorable. He kinda looks like a biewer. His coat is beautiful. My JoJo has long legs and I was wondering if he is really Yorkie. He looks more like a silkie. He is bigger than Spud. He has the heart of a Yorkie so I know he is wonderful. So is your dog. You are blessed having him! |

I know 22 pound AKC registered yorkies. My Cozy at one point was 8 pounds- Now she is 13 pounds and refuses to lose the weight or be denied food! She will track the food down her self if she must! |
there IS A very long thread here in General Discussion Forum, the one that you are in; that is entitled I am going to get a DNA test done. Your boy looks like either a Parti or a Biewer. Some of the Yorkies can get quite large; we have a teapot club here for our YOrkies that have more to love! Unfortunately (or not), although the Standard for the YOrkie is up to 7lbs, it is not uncommon in a litter to have the outliers - those that are definitely tracking to weigh a whole lot more than 7lbs at maturity. It looks like your dog is tracking anywhere from 13-15 lbs or more when full grown. If full bred status is important to you, and what you paid for, then you might consider a DNA test that is elaborated upon in the earlier thread I mentioned. Quote:

Lucy was 5 pounds at 2 months. She should be 6.5-7 pounds but like her mama dog loves food too much. She weights 8-8.5 pounds. She and her mama are Porkie yorkies and proud of it :) |
Boomer is adorable. Size does not automatically determine breed or mix. My boys are above standard and I'm pretty sure they are all Yorkie. |
He looks just like my Chili but yours has cuter ears :). Chili is a parti Yorkie according to the breeder I got him from. I wouldn't worry about how big he is. He is adorable! I think it was out of place for your vet to tell you that he is too big. What's it to him/her anyway? |
Mine was 2lb 4oz at 8 weeks and now she is 16lbs. You never know! |
I think he's just an adorable, gonna be a...big boy!! Just more to love! He sure is a cutie pie!! |
Hes a parti yorkie[tricolor]. Yorkies come in many sizes |
Gosh, he is so cute......just a little fluff ball of cuteness! I bet you are one proud Mom! :) |
I think that he is adorable |
