Yorkies originally were 15lbs as average but in recent years breeders are trying to breed them smaller because that's whats in demand.

Hiya! Welcome to Yorkie Talk! I am down by Ozark. I have a mess of Yorkies. Have you done an introduction to tell us all about your Yorkie and yourself? (Notice I put your Yorkie first? LOL) Sylvia

Hey I totally agree because how are 7 pound yorkies able to kill RATS in a factory if RATS are a size of a cat i read it on wilkipedia they should change the size limit and usually the teacup yorkies are the runts out of them all the premature ones. thanx for ur advice my male yorkie is 18.5 pounds and i love every inch of him.

I have a yorkie form a breeder in missouri (ozark area). He and my vet both told me why my yorkie is already 7 lbs at 4 months old. It because the original breed was larger and due to the demand they are being bred smaller. My baby's name is Amos and I wouldn't trade him for a million smaller ones. He's a good puppy and I got him form a real great breeder (Grassy Farmes in West Plains Missouri). I also ask by people if Amos was a true Yorkie because he is so big. And he sure is a real true loveable yorkie baby!

awww that is great so many people try to argue with me saying he is a full yorkie that it is impossiable that he is that many pounds i said well he looks and acts like one he is just bigger but it makes perfect sense what u r saying i wonder how big my girl yorkie is going to be she looks like she will be small but if she isnt that is also fine i love them anyway

( Im sorry they say he isn't a yorkie he must be mixed ) and it gets me soo mad but i refuse to argue cuz it would just be going back and fourth.

They are called "Throwbacks." I have several that are bigger than their parents. Sylvia

morningsuniowa · 03-11-2009, 05:29 AM

Yeah, the demand now days is the small ones. I love my throwback, to us he is priceless.

celstu1 · 03-11-2009, 06:43 AM

Wow.... chewy is such a beautiful boy!!!

really he is absolutely adorable! As for his size... he definately could get bigger. My boys both had growth spurts at 15 months old. My fletcher went from 6.2lbs to 9lbs and my Dex went from 4.6lbs to 5.5lbs. They were well over a year old when that happened. Although he is large for a yorkie, there are definately other members here with even larger yorkies. I believe Archie's buddy is 16lbs also.

ggh113 · 03-17-2009, 09:36 AM

I was sure I already posted but...?? Guess I need more practice.

My first Yorkie never got over 5 lbs; my new little guy was 10 lbs awhile back - and he just turned 10 months. Gus also has a longer body and nose -
and is twice as feisty as Gabe ever was! He came from a breeder in Missouri - I think I read where others bought theirs there. Maybe they just 'grow' them bigger in MO! LOL

I'll be back if I don't get lost again!

May I ask you: what made you think that your breeder IS reputable?

omichka · 03-17-2009, 04:23 PM

Big size yorkie can be yorkies, but it is called poor breeding. Because back yard breeders just don't know what they do, this is why. Good breeder will never breed yorkie out of standard (they even try don't breed dogs who are 7 pounds, usually 4-6 pounds), and if you buy from a REAL reputable breeder, you would never had such surprise.
Personally, I saw yorkies up to appx. 20 pounds, but you can easily say that they are mixes, although they all have AKC documents (please read the topic "the true about pet trade industry", and post about AKC' connection with puppy mills).
Anyway, for those who concern about purebreed, you can make DNA test.
