| Lol, the bigger the better. 13lbs is still a small dog. Jackson is my big boy, he's 19lbs or so. The big lug. I do question if he's a Silky as well sometimes - not so much because of size... purebred Silky's can be small and pruebred yorkies can be larger etc but just personality, other features, etc. I did not get him from what you may call a good breeder so no papers etc.

| I love having a bigger yorkie. I don't worry as much with them getting hurt. They are so much better to cuddle with.

| My now passed girl was 17 lbs, pure AKC yorkie. She passed away at 17 y/o I had 17 beautiful years with a mighty hunter. My adopted boy is 12 lbs. I prefer the bigger yorkie, they are not so delicate for my life style, but do adore those little 5 pounders.

| I totally agree. I think if I had a smaller dog I might end up hurting it because they are so delicate.

| My Ally Mae is about 11 lbs and I have a smaller yorkie Buddy who is 6lbs. I can tell you that Buddy is the one that is always getting hurt just because he is smaller and hard to see at times. When he was just 4 months old he got stepped on his leg ended up getting amputated. I love both of my babies to death just as they are =) |
