| I too have a bigger Yorkie. Before getting Banjo I was so uneducated about Yorkies and everytime I saw a bigger Yorkie I thought thats not a "real" Yorkie. How wrong I was. Banjos parents were 5lb and 7lb. so I am thinking he was going to be a nice size at 7lbs. Wanting to take him motorbiking with my husband and I. Well Banjo is now 5 and a half months and is 10.4lbs. Who knows how big he'll get when full grown. too big for the motorbike. BUT I adore him. He is a solid guy and so full of mischeif, so full of energy. You love them how they are. Just like a box of chocolates, everyones different but all delicious. |

| I wish breeders wouldn't promise that a pup will be a certain size. I love all my yorkies, but was disappointed when my latest turned out to be over 10 lbs.after I was told she would only get to about 6 lbs. which I wanted as I planned on breeding her. When I sell puppies myself, I only will place them after I hear "I will love this puppy no matter what size it turns out to be" And I certainly won't guarantee a certain size, who can do that?

Wow Banjo is a Teapot Yorkie for sure He will probably reach a good 15lbs before he stops growing Just more to love. Buddy was 7.5 lbs at 5mos. and is now 13.5lbs at 3yrs old. They just have so much love to give but when they jump on your belly you want to die! Carol & Buddy | |

| I'm so glad to know I'm not alone in the TEAPOT yorkie category. I'm amazed at how many of you have yorkies over 10 lbs. It sure is helpful now that we have so much snow on the ground. He would probably be buried in it if he was any smaller. He does look adorable jumping around in all the snow drifts.

| Ahia is one of those 10 lbers that was supposed to be no more than 6 lbs. honestly , I don't see her as being big. I am not blaming anything on the breeder either. I too thought all 2 of the 4 pups that we had were going to be big and they are not. point is that you can't tell. and everyone who buys a pup will ask how big they will grow to be. In defense of some breeders they give their best guess. I am sure there are those out there that will lie to sell too.

| My 8 month old Yorkie female, Rory, weighs 5.4kg, 11.9lb. As she still has a lot of growing to do, she’s going to be huge!! Parents were 3 & 3.5kg. She is adorable, can jump really high, has big ears that flop over still & loves everybody, including kids. |

| Just love your baby and enjoy him. He doesn't know he's not supposed to weigh that much. All he knows is that you love him for himself. |

| Welcome to YT My now passed girl was 17 Lbs of pure beauty, if there was enough running room she could have leaped over a 3 foot high fence. She with me for 17 years. A yorkie is a yorkie no matter how much they weigh. My adopted boy is 12 Lbs. Bigger yorkies are more sturdier, you don't have to worry about them jumping off sofas or bed as much as the wee lil ones.

| When you picked up your puppy from the Breeder, did you SEE the '6 pound parents'? |
