My two at 6 and 5 pounds are the perfect size for me. I carry them around at the same time and it is easy enough for me to do it. If they were much larger, I would not be able to take them both everywhere like I do. |
Trust me... If he does get bigger than you want, it will NOT matter to you.... In fact, you'll probably think you wouldn't have him any other way. I worried about it too when Charlie was a puppy and wouldn't stop growing. Now he is 14lbs (at last vet visit)... Were trying to get him down to 12 because the extra 2lbs is fat.. but my point is... I couldn't imagine him any other way now. And believe me, I was worried just like you are when he kept on growing. and look at the bright side.. If he does get on the bigger side, you can apply to the teapot club!!! :D |

I have not seen anything about Huddersfield Ben being nearly 20 pounds. I'm seeing 11-12 pounds with pups thrown in the current standard. I love the Pit Bull personality, but I don't want them to be small just to fit into my life style, nor do I think Yorkies should be 15+ pounds just because it is a preference. There will always be large Yorkies thrown and tiny Yorkies thrown. IMO, breed for neither, but wait for one if that is the only size you like. If there is a major deal then buy an adult. |

No actually "Ben" was 13 to 15 lbs. Not 20 lbs. There are many large yorkies, and many are in rescue, why because people want 3 lb dogs and pay 1000.00+ for less than pet quality dogs. Then get rid of them because they are not what the breeder promised. Yorkshire Terriers were bred down in size, they have always been a small dog but not micro in size. I like the larger ones and it is no problem to find them. I have people call me all the time for my breeders name because they like Keno's size. I always tell them to check with yorkie rescue. Keno's damn was 5 lbs and stud 4 lbs. Both show dogs, breeder knew I was looking for a larger puppy and called when it became apparent that Keno would be larger. He was 4.8 lbs at 13 weeks. Do I think the standard should be changed, no I think people should smarten up. There is no AKC puppy of any breed worth more than 1200.00 at 12 weeks. Now a show prospect is a different story but normally that takes a minimum of 9 months for a toy dog to mature enough to show promise. Just my opinion. |

My sedge wick is, about 11 lbs., I call him my teapot! I did think he would stay smaller but I love him to life! My newest baby Ko Ko is a little rolly poly at 9 months she's 7 lbs, but still very low to the ground. ♡ my babies. ♡ |
