| English Bred? I got all you guys beat......my Breeder has a 50 lb. Yorkie and he is knee-high in height. She swears he's a 100% Yorkie w/AKC. papers, he supposedly has a thyroid problem & allergies, she also claims that the Breeder she got him from said that he was also English Bred? Directly from England? He's the sweetest thing he just looks like a "Mega Mutant Yorkie" that's what they would call him if he was on "South Park" (sounds like something Cartman would say?) LOL. |

| Our remi is about 11-12 lbs, very proportional and he is a pure yorkie. We like it that wAy, he is very active and we can actually play with him without being worried about breaking his back or legs. |

| Big Boy! My Boy is about 16 LBS and he does not have an ounce of fat on him. My vet said he is all muscle. He is 100% Yorkie and I have the papers. I have a 10 month old girl who is 3 lbs, I feel like I have the best of both Worlds!!!

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Dayzee is 11 months old and weighs 11 pounds. She is my avatar. I just hope this trend of months and pounds stops soon. She is all Yorkie but dislikes being dressed up. None of that girly stuff for her -- I think she would be a tomboy in another life. |

| I can not wait for Peach to grow...she can squeeze through anything I swear! I am going to love letting her out in the yard to pee without a leash, but right now she squeezes between the fence boards My cat can not even do that!

| Our Oliver is 14 lbs. He's just the right size for our family. We don't have to worry about not seeing him and stepping by accident or anything like that. We have a very active lifestyle, and with the pooch always at our heels, it's easy for us to know he is right there next to us. For us, he's just the right size. But often, people will say, "Oh that's a yorkie, he's sooo big, I thought yorkies were smaller". Oh well!, We love him, all 14 lbs of him! lol |

| BTW- I do have his papers, and his mom and dad were just 4 and 6 lbs. ....But, I love the term "TeaPOT" yorkie. Next time anyone asks, that's what I'll say he is. Can't wait to see the expression on their face, lol. |

| size Where is this 4 to 7 pound standard? The standard states..."not to exceed 7 pounds"...I have had many under 4 pounds and they are 100% Yorkie...some are larger then the standard, but reputable breeders do strive to stay within the limits...a few pounds over happens...12/15 is really pushing it..I saw a 23 pounder and she was HUGE!! Did not look much like a Yorkie, but had AKC papers..papers mean nothing unless the breeders behind them are honest.. I can not imagine a purebred at 50..I would love to see it... |

| Yorkies were originally big The original Yorkshire Terrier, known as the "Broken-Haired Scotch Terrier" was a 12-to-14 pound dog with wire hair whose intended purpose was the catching of rats and other vermin that lived in small spaces. In 1870, the breed was renamed the Yorkshire Terrier, after the county of Yorkshire, England where the breed is believed to have originated. The father of the breed is considered to be Huddersfield Ben, who was born in 1865 and died in 1871 from a carriage accident, the inbred offspring of a mother and son. Huddersfield Ben was bred by Mr. W. Eastwood Huddersfield. A multiple champion, Huddersfield Ben set the foundation for what would develop into the modern Yorkie. Based on registrations, Yorkshire Terriers became the #3 most popular dog breed in the United States in 2005 according to the American Kennel Club, trailing only the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. Here is the link to a thread I posted before, according to the research I have done, the original yorkies, before they were the show quality small fries we know today, were actually larger to medium sized dogs! Here is the link to the thread, and there is a link to more info there on Xtra Large yorkies! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40548

| I just took the baby, Rocco to the vet yesterday and he weighs in at 15 lbs. Its funny bcuz Maxx and Evey both weight 7 and 8 lbs so it is cute when they all sit together, its a stair step. But Rocco is 8 months old and Maxx and Evey are 6 & 7 yrs old and even though Rocco is twice the size of my older ones, it is SO obvious he is the baby! |

| I love reading all about everyone's bigger Yorkies. My buddy is 13.7 as of last Fri at the vets. He is a prue bred but I have no idea how large his parents were. I was not familiar with the larger ones so when he got that big I was amazed! He is now 2 1/2. I would not trade him for the world, nothing like a bigger Yorkie just more to love. |
