Yea actually, she is actually. I definetly got what I paid for. Her parents were also standard and probably could have been shown but the breeder was older and didn't have the time for it. I got a perfect almost 5 lbs girl, with perfect rich silky coat, perky ears that have been up since she was a few weeks old, correct size neck, eyes snout, and perfect kisses She was super tiny when I got her and she NEVER had a hypoglycemic attack or any health issues. If people prefer a big yorkie that is a personal choice, but just because a few people have out of standard yorkies doesn't mean the standard should be changed.

No

The standard says not over 7, there is no lower limit. a 1 pound yorkie is withing the standard.

How can you say 4 is too small, yet turn around and say a 3lb mom is ok.. doesn't make much sense????

no not at all hes way to large thats why i neutered him hes gorgeous (i think)i could have easily breed him but hes WAY to over the standard
if i see other yorkies walking down the street his size im shocked
i think the standard should stay under 7 pounds

Isn't the Yorkie standard in England also under 7 lbs?

That was nice.

The poor thing is probably wondering what kind of Pandora's box she opened with her innocent question. Or she's out looking for a box for him to stand on wile we all hash over the do's and don'ts.

If you do decide to breed, please be honest with the buyers so they know what a wonderful healthy robust bundle of joy they are getting. I personally believe that a 10 pound yorkike is much safer if you have young children.

Probably ran out the back door and never looked back.

so do i which is another reason to keep them bigger.

im not having a go at anyone im just saying what i think, i dont think there is anything wrong with her breeding a larger yorkie as long as she has homes for them as long as both are healthy. we are think different it dont mean someones right and someones wrong just cos we dont agree.

Did anyone ever answer the poor girl's question?
