| What an adorable teddy bear your baby is. He looks so sweet and gentle. His ears look great up or down. My 2yo Bailey's ears were first up and then both were down when he was a pup. Now one is up and the other one down. Extra personality I say I didn't tap them or shave them either. |

| Oh, he's such a cutie!!! Did you name him Maximus before or after you got him....?!!!? Just to say - when we got our Harry at 12 weeks old - he weighed 10lbs....but he's a purebred, 100% 'British' Yorkshire Terrier...he might be out of standard, but sooooo much easier not to step on/squash/drop....and that suited us right down to the ground!!! Oh, and I tried so hard to make Harry's ears stand up - but he wasn't having any of it....he's a great big flopper in every which way Enjoy!!! xx

Although I don't profess to be a dog trainer, nor breeder, I do believe that they stop growing at about one year. Perhaps some of the wonderful experts on here could confirm my thoughts, or set me straight on this As your sweet Harry, my Bailey had boundless energy and always wanting to play. I think that's what a puppy is all about, not just in Yorkies. At times it was overwhelming for me, but with help I made it through. Now he loves to play, but chilling at times as well. Every day is still like Christmas to see him. We are so lucky to have such a handsome and lovely dog Although I wished for a yorkie to weight 5 lbs, due to muscles issues I have, he has grown to 8 lbs. All said and done, I am thankful for his extra few pounds, as he is no longer a threat of being kicked. Having said that, I did kick him (by accident of course) the first 1/2 hour of having him I felt so bad about that, but he was just so quick to get in my way. Haven't done that since... thankfully! All the best with your new bundle of joy | |

| He looks like a full yorkie to me About 10 years ago, my husband took me to get my dream puppy and we came home with two Now we have seven, ranging in size 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 17. It takes 15 minutes to write this message as I have to pet each one as they step off the bed onto my desk for lovies. I love them all so much. My lastest is the smallest, he was a rescue I got a little over a month ago and he is so precious. He is sort of a little meanie, so I am trying to work that out of him. I do have one suggestion, I have 3 1/2 ears down, watch them carefully as they are more likely to get infected. If you catch it early, a squirt of ear med can get rid of it in a day. But they do pop up as they grow. I have also heard they are 1/2 their adult weight by age 8 weeks, it is only an estimate. Have fun with Maximus, with kids, it is probably better to have the guy a little larger for practice, the smaller they are the more delicate. Then you have to get stairs for everything you want him/her on. Also, neuter by 6 months, it keeps them from marking.

| He is so cute! I have a big 17 pounder with floppy ears too. I think she is the perfect size for me. A lot of people have asked me where they can get a bigger yorkie like her. I can't imagine my life without her.
