Benson 1 Attachment(s) I also have a fairly large yorkie. Benson weighs a little more than 11 lb. The last time he saw the vet she called him a "sausage". He''s supposed to be on a diet. We have a s**tzu who is 14 years old and isn't eating as much and Benson will nail her food when she doesn't eat it. He really eats most anything, celery, lettuce, oranges, anything . . . and it causes food wars between the two of them. |
large Yorkies I did get my Amos from a good breeder and his mom and dad are 7lbs each. His sister is 5lbs and his brother Archie is 7lbs but Amos is now 10lbs and 5 months old. He is not from a puppy mill or back yard breeder. According to breeder and vet. he is not mixed. His grandparents: were 7lbs and 6lbs. So what say?? I believe its true what the vet and breeder said; the original breed averaged 15lbs and only lately breeders have tried to down breed in size. So, size dose not mean they are not purebred. |
giant He is BEAUTIFUL;) |

LOL I completely understand. My yorkie is a pure breed and i got the papers to prove it... i guess he is another mutant. He is only 8 months and he is already weighing 13.5 lbs. I love him this long and big, gives him more character. Also he can take more punishment in our playing lol and he has the stance to jump really high which is always a crowd pleaser. I am a big yorkie lover :D |
Yorkies can come bigger I found this on the internet from a breeder Yorkshire terriers range from 2 and half to 15 pounds. Yorkie bodies can be boxy or long. Their legs range from short doxie like legs to too long. I like the small to medium length legs. Yorkie hair comes in a wide range of styles, some a complete nightmare others have very manageable hair. Long haired Yorkies require daily care and should not go out in the woods. Yorkie Hair is ideal when it hangs down straight and not too stiff but also not too light and fury. And then of course a part down the middle from head to tail. You will always be taking a chance that your puppy will be bigger that you wanted. Some can be as big as 15lbs. or even 20lbs |
true cause if u read in their bio history yorkshire terriers were used to kill RAT'S in factorys so a 7 pound yorkie could not kill a rat a rat is a size of a cat full grown so i believe this my bingo is a big joy Quote:

:eek: If I ever came across a rat the size of a cat, I'd probably crap myself! |
yorkies are cute no matter what size they are! remember that! :animal-pa:animal-pa |

this is what i researched also it said rat's and mice are two different specie's on another bio lol.. A giant rat is a rat that is substantially larger than its other rodent cousins. Rodents of unusual size, do appear in nature such as the Capybara Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, Gambian Pouched Rat, Cricetomys gambianus, adult specimens of which have been known to attain upwards of 3 feet (91 cm) in size from nose to base of tail; and the caviomorphs of South America regularly top the scales at over 200 lb (90 kg) in weight. However, the most noteworthy giant rats appear as monsters in fiction, role-playing games, computer games, and other venues of fantasy. |
Just what the Doctor ordered Man am I glad I came on line today to find this thread. I was about to post a new thread and whine about how one more person told me that Sully is probably not full Yorkie and cause he's too big and he's probably a mix and that I got "ripped off". I find myself explaining to these people that yes I have papers that say he's a Yorkie and no he's not too big. I know the standard is 7 pounds. I know he's big for 6 months (10 lbs). When I insist, they just look at me like I'm a dope. Sometimes these Friggin New Englanders are "wicked rude".....oh wait, I AM a New Englander....LOL |
What is wrong with this picture 2 Attachment(s) Okay, so this is still bugging me that I keep being told Sully is "bogus" and not a real Yorkie. I mean really! What is wrong with people? Why do they insist on making me feel bad instead of just saying..."cute dog". Here's are the things that this last person pointed out to me: 1. His coat is not "silky". 2. He's too heavy - 10 pounds, 6 months 3. His nose is too long 4. His ears aren't pointy enough 5. His body is too long 6. And this one is really bumming me out....his "Certified Pedigree" Papers are not AKC but they are ACA and according to this person - ACA papers are just a hoax for BYB to pass off "bogus yorkies" to unsuspecting buyers. OMG - is this true? I love Sully and wouldn't trade him for anything - but I really am wondering if I've been scammed. The "papers" I have go back 6 generations and all list "Yorkshire Terrier"... What am I missing? PS - This person also said - he's an Austrailian Terrier. |

I have been going through the same thing and I have decided to have a DNA test for my little Amos. I should have the results in a week or two. It is cost but if I paid for a purebred and he is not I want a refund of sorts. I will never give up Amos but I don't like being scammed. I will let you know the DNA out come. |

Bigger Yorkies 2 Attachment(s) My bear came with papers and he grew to 17lbs but as he approached his final year he was down to 15 lbs at 17 years. My Daisy cqame from real tiny parents but they only had 2 pups one tennie tiny and Daisy. Daisy is now 17 and wieghs 13lbs. The bigger the yorkie the bigger their heart! |
The vet will do it. They draw the blood and sent it off. You can also get the kit your self online but you will have to take the kit to the vet to draw the blood. The website its: Dog DNA Test | Mixed Breed Analysis | Canine Breed Testing and at the home page click buy now button at the top. The cost is 124.00 and the vet charged my 18.00 to draw the blood. I got mine online and took it to the vet because I did not know the vet also had the kits. Either way it cost the same. But its easier to let the vet do it. Hope this helps. |
As soon as I get a little play money....I might do it... just for $h**ts and giggles... very interesting. thanks. |
2 things here: 1. AKC charges $35 to $40 for doing the DNA testing. I do not know if they will DNA a dog that isn't registered with them but I suspect not. To do their DNA test, they send you a kit and it is just like you see on the CSI shows, swab the inside of the cheeks. You send it back to them and they work up the results. You do not have to wait for them to ask for DNA testing. If you can afford to have it done and want it done, do it. 2. When I got my first Yorkie, Pirogue, and he started getting so big, I was very angry at people for saying he wasn't a Yorkie. Just because of his size?!!! How stupid! What does the size have to do with his breed? Not a thing! I hadn't planned on showing him or even trying to show him. Why did they have to be so mean? I was no threat to anyone, I just wanted to love my dog and it sure wouldn't have hurt my feelings to have ANYONE say how cute he was. Even if they qualified it by saying "even though he's so big."

I know the feeling. People look at Amos and say what a cute yorkie mixed. I say he is purebred and they say but he is so big. Sometimes they say I must have gotten scammed. It just show how much they DON"T know about the breed but think they do. The website I gave earlier will do the swab test for less too. But I decided to go with the blood test. I guess it dosen't matter. Although, Amos's test is not finished yet, I'm pretty confident he is yorkie. |

Well, you need to take a look at my mutant, Jesse. He could be Sully's twin. His hair is like piano wire, he is 10+ lbs. at 9 months and has a box head. Then, take a look at my female, age 4, hair like silk, baby doll face... :) They are polar opposites. I never really worry because it's not about the size in the case of Yorkies, because they are beautiful no matter how big or small. My boy is so loving, and like ILoveBingoo's baby, Bingo, he is a hunter. My female was fired from lizard hunting for non-performance.. :) I love holding Jumbo Jesse, because it's the equivalent of holding a large newborn baby. Jesse also has an incriminating white spot on his chest, and I never got his registration so who really knows the deal. The original owners got him from a pet store, and we all know they can be the worst at selling mixed and sickly pups. I actually rescued him from a family with terror toddlers, so he comes with a story. This makes me love him even more. Your baby is beautiful, whether a teacup or teapot. Only blessings...Lisa, Lilly and Jumbo Jesse. |
Papers or not, Yorkies, like people come in all sizes, "colors" and personalities (might be a good line to use). Zack and Zeke are two entirely different yorkies but I love them to death. Since their rescues, they did not cost a bunch of money. Unconditional love both ways is all that matters to me, nothing like being noisily, excitable and warmly greeted whenever you come home. |
