Out of curiosity to others, why hasn't AKC added a minimum weight to the standards? Maybe I'm just missing it. New thread on another probably very worn out question!

"Weight: Must not exceed seven pounds." why no minimum

I think that's a really good question, I have wondered about that myself.

BTW, it wouldn't be up to the AKC, it's the breed club for each breed that decides what the standard is -- in this case the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America.

Thank you! I didn't know that. I'll look them up.

Because then people would be like see the teacups are the ones under the minimum just playing. I think it used to be 4-7 pounds but was changed to not to exceed 7 pounds.

I did find a reference to only one change since the original standard was published. 2007 they added the disqualifying characteristic.
