| new member howdy folks, im trying to introduce myself and test to see if i can post yet. im kinda new to forums so plz bear with me as i learn heh. im the proud daddy of stitch, who i recently learned is an abnormal yorkie. she is 36lbs and me not knowing much about small dogs plus having only ever having large breeds, seemed ok, till a mention was made that she had to have genetic problems. i flipped out n after a bit found my way here where i found out tho rare 20 and 30lb yorkies arent unheard of. i want to thank those who responded etc. i dont know much about small dogs, but i do know a bit about training animals. WOOOT its a good day to be me, i think i found how to attach pics finally. hope this works....shawn YAY it worked mostly, many of them exceeded size limit, just means i gotta transfer pics to my phone that will fit lol. i really wanted to upload the baby pics when she was black and tan, now shes blue n tan but i keep her shaved so she dont trip over her hair and stays cool in summer. feel like i achieved something here gettin them photos attached lol, not sure what but ill take it as a win heh. |

| yup lol she claims my bed at all times lmao, she tolerates her humans, so long as she has sausages and we make her breakfast on time she allows us to have a peaceful day, do it not and shes gonna make life suck till she feels we have been fairly punished and wont do so again lol. |

| ive never seen so much personality and intelligence in any dog b4. i knew about teacup dogs b4 i got stitch n figured my sisters pups(stitches parents) were that, and stitch just wasnt a teacup, but then my sister came to visit a couple months ago and freaked. i dont think ill ever be able to have any other breed now. and to think i made fun of my sister for owning em, now i thank her all the time. |

| In my excitement of finally being able to post a new topic, i forgot the main reason for joining heh. My pup stitch is a full blooded yorkie, my sister owns both of her parents and got both from highly respected breeders. And i know how ludacris it sounds but stitch is 36.5lbs 4 months ago at last vet visit. Soes anyone on here know of any genetic disorders that may cause this, like gigantism in humans. I got some reassurance by asking in older posts about mutant yorkies, but i figure maybe more ppl would see the question here. Thanks to any help or info yall can add. Now that i know other ppl own 20-30lb yorkies im not flipping out so much but still it never hurts to ask.....shawn |

| Nice ta meetcha! I'm happy to meet you! I am new not only to this forum, but have never understood forums, threads etc myself very well. So lets get this party started and learn about our babies AND forum use!! WOOT! And yes, your baby should be quite normal, I wouldn't worry about genetic difficulties, this size yorkie is unusual, but by no means uncommon. If s/he were to suddenly gain weight, haircolor change, etc or you noticed anything drastic that didn't seem like a health issue, then i would advise seeing what type of tests could be ran. your baby should be just fine! |

| Hi loki,and yup matese my sister is a lil bit upset, see i teased her big time about "yap dogs" how they couldnt protect or hunt etc, just being the mean older brother lol. In my defence ive never had anythong smaller than 90-100lbs for a dog until stitch, so my sis in revenge gave my daughter stitch who was the runt of the litter. We had to take stitch home early, our visit there was ending when stitch was 3 weeks old, so we weaned her ourselves. But at about 2 months she just started growing fast, my sister now wants her back lol. She likes medium dogs and loves yorkies so she didnt like how it backfired lol. The weird thing is all the other puppies shes had are normal 7-8lbs for a couple but most r less than 5lbs except stitch, so now all i hear is what did u really feed her or what was in them bottles lol. I added 2 pics of her b4 she turned blue. I cant seem to crop the ones of her when she was small to below 200kb. Plus when her hair was super long b4 her first shave, it almost drug the ground, but she was always hot n panting n couldnt run well, OMG she was so happy after the shaving n i was soo sad. Ill try n get some photos this weekend. G'night folks and its nice to have found a place where folks luv their pups like i do mine. Shes my 2nd kid lol. |

| Hi, I think you mentioned before about wanting to know why your pup was so big? From looking at the pictures from when Stitch was older (the white picture) and the pictures when she was a pup, it looks like she may be a mix, which could explain the sudden weight gain. Either way, Stitch is a total cutie. Welcome to YT!!!

| Yesterday i would have said no way on being mixxed, but earlier i read a older post where someone bought a yorkie pup from a breeder and it turned out to be mixxed and they got half their money back. Stitchs parents were both bought from good breeders, and she looks almost exactly like her momma just bigger. Her momma is long silky haired as well, just i keep stitchy shaved. Its no biggy im gonna love the heck outta the aggrevating mongrel either way but i am curious now. I wonder if theyd do a dna test if i sent in her papers to register her. At xmas ill try n get pics of her sitting beside her mom n pop, lol her head is almost bigger than either of them lol, but i may get a new puppy, missy went into heat early n my sister may not have seperated them soon enough. If so n i get another giant i dont think my sister will allow me to survive heh. Hope yall r having a great day, time for me n stitch to go sit in the hunting blind n me freeze n her be all happy. She loves the cold n u cant keep her out of snow, but she wants to play in the woods everyday all year long lol....shawn |

| YAY another safe return for the mighty hunter stitch and her human sidekick heh, we seen 3 very beautiful deer, one was a young white yearling, hoping its piebald, but will get great photos of it if its albino. She sat perfectly still in her camo seat and watched intently. She didnt even lose control when the squirrell began barking at us, altho she was quivering on that one lol. Thank god no foxxes this time, she was beside herself on that so filled the area around the pond with coyote and wolf urine scent. Nomore foxxes yet :-) now shes sleeping with a belly full of homemade lean sausage, her favorite snack besides pupperoni and they r about tied. Now i could use a bit of help, when she was smaller, i had an outfit made for her n she was sergeant stitch, complete with paw cover (just over the top no sole on the bottom) little combat boots, a little BDU/ACU (army uniform, not Class A's) one in dessert digital one in jungle green, and the jungle set even had a little flak jacket, then of course her dog tags. Now im thinking a full hunting get up lol. But with her fur should i go without insultation on the coveralls and little hiking boot paw covers? She was a hit at wounded warrior events back in 2012, and it was their idea to make her a hunting companion, she just sits in the blind n helps watch, most my videos r from her seeing it first. Any ideas would be great....thanks folks Ps i texted my sister, shes going to send pics of stitch to both breeders and kinda mention a dna test to prove something n see if either admit one of her pups arent full blooded, tho they r both registered. She said she thought it but dismissed it. All her littermates r normal sized well mostly, they r all under 10lbs. Only 2 r above 5lbs. And they got their papers. Its not a huge deal she doesnt sell puppies, she makes sure they have a great home, gives them away n then checks on them for the first year. Mainly its to older ppl who have lost a pet, she calls vets n they refer her unless friends or family wants them. Shes only ever had to repossess one, and the lady brought it back due to illness and inability to care for him, sis offered to bring food etc to her, but he found a great home with a family who adores him heh. Anyways once she finds out the pedigree ill post it, now if i could just get stitchy to stop chasing the goats n harrassing our horses she will be perfect for us lol. Tater Tot, (my daughters paint quarter horse) n stitch play n the older mares get testy) enjoy ur evening folks, 4am is coming fast n stitch will be waking me up to go hunting lol. |
