The AKC papers on my 18.9 lb "Yorkie" are from an Amish breeder somewhere out in Lancaster PA area. I'm his third owner in 2.5 years--it's keeping up with the energy that had his last owner give him up. Appreciate your comment on this: a HANDFULL is what we have here.

I gave some thought to learning to breed dogs to sell giant-yorkies with long giraff necks because I think they are too-cool.

Well, like many people who get their first yorkie, I'm eager to share pics, so here's some images of the little tyrant! I've included 3 here all taken on the same day when he was roughly 6 months old. Edit: This is roughly two months ago, he's much bigger now, lol.

You can see his earlier size here next to my 6 foot wife. I'll take some other pics to show off his crazy long neck and general longness.

Ok....I am soooo late. I thought this was a "new" thread, but I see it was started in 2005. LOL is Chewie still here? Well, jut wanted to say that I think he's just adorable! Hope all is well with him.

My Prada is a cotton coat yorkie, AKC, and weights about 14 pounds, she is NOT a standard size or coat, but some of her sibblings are, and her parents too.. is ALL about GENETICS.. my girl is the exception to the rule..LOL
remember yorkies used to be bigger dogs until the humans decided to shrink them.

I believe when the breed was first developed they were much larger originally, up to 20 lbs. Then they began taking the runts of the liters and breeding them to be smaller. AND, don't shoot the messenger, I also read that some hideously unscrupulous (I have a few less eloquent words) breeders will give the poor baby mommies a C-section and sell those poor premature babies as teacups. Which could be one of the reasons why the tiny Yorkies can be so sickly.

My boy is 6.14 last time he was weighed at the vet and will be 7 mos. on 3/30. I need to get on a computer to post a pic. I tried cutting and pasting from iPad but it didn't work

My doggie is pretty long with a long neck as well.

He actually looks a lot like Miles!!!! He's beautiful!!!! OK, I will fire up the old computie and post a pic. Miles has a bro out there somewhere in NY. Hmmmmm.... Lol.

They are all so cute !

Yorkie standard are so unreasonable when it comes to our Yorkies. Unless you plan on showing your Yorkie, dont worry about how big they are. What people dont understand is that they come from a line of larger breed dogs that can show up in a blood line at any time.

Dawn, agreed, it's the dog and the personality you fall in love with and some Yorkies have big genes some wee genes.

Our "purebred" Yorkie, Graysee, is currently approximately 11.4 pounds. Although she is not the AKC-recognized standard, she still has her papers and bloodline as 100% Yorkie. I have always suspected that somewhere up the line there might have been a Silky in the mix! Doesn't matter, I wouldn't trade her for anything!

Possible but many Yorkies even from wonderfully conforming YTCA standard lines throw an out of standard pup or few.

Remember it was less than 100 years ago when the "Yorkie" was quite often coming in at closer to 20# than under 10...they were already extremely bred down in size to be under 7#.

Thus I personally have serious issues in those breeding them down under the current low standard size range.

Hi..I have a mutant yorkie who is around 15lbs. and he mated with our little 8lb. mini pin. It certainly was not our plan. Now I am wondering what size pups she is most likely to have. Do you know if my mutant will have the throwback genes or could it be possible they will be the little yorkies as his mother/father and sister and brother were? Just wondering if any mutant owners have bred their big babies.

Well you certainly wont have little yorkies.

You'll have min pin yorkie mixes.

My male was bred and produced in standard pups, however out of standard dogs are obviously by definition not breeding quality.

My male came from a line of undersized yorkies actually.
Goodluck finding homes for those pups please spay neuter.
