Mutant Yorkie. World's largest yorkie?

[yorkie_momma_46]

you have a very cute dog. I myself am an owner of a large yorkie and wouldn't have it anyother way. Roxy is over 12# and her mate Duke is only 5.5#, i was once told by a breeder that the size of the puppy does not truly depend on the size of the parents and i think that may be true since my male's brother from the same litter turned out to be a small while mine turned out to be a medium. i also heard that the tiny and tea cup yorkies tend to have more health problems which can be very expensive for the owner. LARGE YORKIES RULE!!!

I also have a 12.5 pound yorkie, bred from a well known reputable breeder's lines. I also have his half sister a Champion and 61/2 pounds. Many things go into contributing to a yorkies adult size. It's how the genes bounce out.

No, tinies don't always have more health problems then standard size.....Standard and larger yorkies have many health problems too. A lot is contingent on the breeder's breeding practices.

I am in a study with a cardiologist and she brings her Yorkie into work sometimes. The other morning I was standing on the scale and looked down and he was right next to me. Looked just like my Benson - even the same size. He came into the room while I waited and sat on my lap and then when he was tired and ready to leave he went to the door.

WOW thanks for the imput guess i was misled. i'm not sure about the breeders of my female she is CKC and was told she was AKC when i got her. water under the bridge since i fell in love with her right off and my husband who originally didn't want her followed suit lol she is more his than mine go figure. my male is AKC with champion lines and i got him from a very reputable breeder. but i have a question, why do breeders charge an owner for breeding rights? i'm sure it's to control the crossing of lines and people not knowing what they are doing right? help on this please. mind you my yorkies just mated and we will probably have puppies around mid Aug.

Oh! I couldn't figure out what you were saying charging for breeding rights.

First of all most reputable breeders do charge more for a show/breeding dog vs a pet. But, it's just a bit more complicated than a simple answer.

If one is looking for a breeding dog. Most reputable breeders will only sell the best of the best. A dog that is worthy of being bred and the best representation of the breed. Reputable breeders will only sell a breeding quality dog to someone they are mentoring and expect the dog to be Championed prior to breeding. Now keep in mind these dogs are never placed in homes prior to the age of 7 months of age or older, to insure that they have all the qualities that meet the standard. They will not place a breeding/show dog that they would not keep in their own program. After all it is their reputation in the ring. Now in placing said show/breeding dogs, it is done with a very strict contract. A dog must be championed and any puppies that aren't kept by the owner will be only sold on a spay/nueter contract. They will only be bred to bitches/studs approved by the original breeder. Yes, it is done to control their lines and to insure their pedigrees will not end up in the hands of BYBers. They've put years of their blood, sweat and tears into perfecting their lines.

My Annie had a 6 lb mother, a 4 lb dad....she's 5 years old and 14 lbs....some of us jokingly call that size a teapot ....as a take off on the tiny ones (heaven forbid !) being called by some as a teacup. Annie is AKC, the breeder owned the parents and the grand parents so I saw the family...some just grow larger...more to love !!
She's smart, happy healthy and loving....a typical terrier at times, but I would NOT
trade her for anything..we love her dearly.

Selling a dog with breeding rights is just not reputable, let alone letting one go at 8 weeks of age.

What I meant to say was selling a dog at 8 weeks of age with breeding rights is not reputable. At that young of an age, it can't be determined on whether a dog is of breeding/show quality.

even if i didn't intend to show him?

He must be show worthy do be bred. A breeding yorkie should have all the qualities of a show dog. A great representation of the breed, with all the required health tests performed.

At 8 weeks of age, she looks very big.....Didn't you say that she was a bit on the larger size? If so, I wouldn't even think of breeding her.

To the OP: Your Yorkie is adorable. He looks so kind and sweet. Love his face!!!

[yorkie_momma_46]
