So, I'm learning that with Yorkies what you expect is not always what you get. Has anyone got their yorkie and expected one thing (size, color) and it turned out to be different?

Oscar's Mom · 06-13-2006, 06:11 AM

Yeah...Oscar's breeder thought he would be around 3 pounds but I am so happy that he turned out the way he did. He is a rock solid, hard as nails 7 pound boy who will run and jump as long as you can keep up with him! I would not have him any other way! He is everything I had hoped for in a Yorkie...Everything!

yes i expected lexi to be smaller around 5 or 6 lbs ,, i think shes around
8 or 9 lbs, solid as a rock.. but the best thing that ever happened to me..
wouldnt trade her for anything.

chachi · 06-13-2006, 06:18 AM

Chachi was 1 lb at 6 weeks and the breeder told me he would be about 5 lbs he is 10 lbs. Jewels was 12 ounces at 8 weeks and she was supposed to be about 3 lbs she is 6. I was more disapointed about Jewels getting so big because paid $300 more for her because she was so small. I still want a small yorkie but the next one I am getting a pup from a breeder where the parents are both small. I have already found the breeder but My Husband doesnt want to get our next one untill we move into our next house. That is about a year or two from now so I have a wait

Yep~ Bailey's parents were 5 and 6 pounds, saw em with my own eyes,,he's 10 pounds and mom was goldish color, dad was silver,,he is 2 and his back is still black... SURPRISE!

that had more hair. I actually think Dylan's hair is shrinking. Okay, so it's not really shrinking it's just that he is growing so much but his hair isn't. I still love him though and think he's cute. At least the hair on his head is growing so he can have a topknot.

GeorgiesMomma · 06-13-2006, 06:23 AM

Being naive I expected Georgie to look like his cousin Oliver (I added a pic of both for you to see them both). I thought (I know I am an idiot) that all Yorkies looked similar. However having said that I will add that I couldn't have ask for a sweeter more handsome boy than my Georgie. Oliver is handsome too they are just a different looking handsome

I was pleasantly suprised that Yorkies come in all shapes and sizes

#1 is Oliver
#2 is Georgie

I love my Tucker to death. I would not trade him for anything. (well, maybe Sneri's Mac, but that aint' happening!) lol
He is 10 pounds, his ears don't go up, he hates belly rubs and cuddles. I know he is a pure bred yorkie but he seems to be his own man all the way! I do love him, though. He's my baby!

When I had a child with birth defects I remember a social worker who gave me a story about not getting what you expected. It was really beautiful, and the jist of it was, if you spend all of your time thinking about what you didn't get you will miss out on the beauty of what you have. I'm in love with my Tucker boy and wouldn't change a thing about him!
