Legs Just out of curiosity.... I see many photos of yorkies — even smallish yorkies in the five to six pound range — that have very long legs. I see photos of other yorkies with shorter legs and more “compact” bodies. Is one or the other body type more common? More “correct”? Jax definitely has the more compact body type. His legs, while not stubby, are not the long ones I see in many pictures. To me, since he’s the only yorkie I’ve had, he looks normal, so I always do a double take when I see photos of a long legged yorkie. |
I don't know what is normal per say but both Ollie and Joey and what looks like to be Dixie have long legs where Penny has my body type of short and stubby lol. |
Mine has a pretty long body with medium length legs. She's on the heavier side with a smaller head. |
Piper is a solid, ten pound Yorkie who stands about 9" floor to shoulder and is about 15" neck to tail. So yes, Piper is absolutely thee perfect size--for ME!! She has short little legs that can mooove; she can go from 0-90 easy! |
Yorkie should be slightly longer than tall, a compact and fit body. So no to long legs. Not as per AKC standard. You can see a correctly proportioned Yorkie if you look up my pics on here. Rigair sir Razzle Dazzle. CH of two countries and a GCH. Grand Champion |

I miss your videos of dock diving, just awesome seeing these small dogs doing big dogs things, just showing the public small dogs aren't just a fashion statement, they are workers too. |

My beautiful Matese was a worker lol. When we moved to Pa. she had to be confined to my large kitchen. I have an open room plan, living room to kitchen which I had a 4 foot high wall installed and a latch gate at the entrance to the kitchen. Matese was the kinda gal that if she was blocked from an area she wanted to be in, it was like her job to find a way to get in that room. My dining chairs are quite heavy, Matese was a big girl weighing in at 17 lbs of beautiful sleekness, she'd grab hold of one of the chairs that was pushed under the table, pull it out with her teeth until she got it out far enough to jump on the chair, then on the table and jumped over the wall into the living room lol. I bought clothes line rope to tie around the table and chairs so the chairs could not be moved. She chewed the rope and got that chair out and back in the living she was. I took out all but one chair and chained that to two table legs, that worked. Talk about working yorkies lol. I retired soon after that, then she had free roam of the house. I miss that girl so much, my mischievous Matese. |

I don’t personally have any interest in showing, and Jax isn’t AKC registered anyway, but I was curious as to which body type was more “correct” by AKC breed standards. I figured the two body types couldn’t be equally correct, even though I’m sure they are equally lovable. (Sorry for doing the quote thing wrong. For some reason, I couldn’t fix it.) |
