One looked pretty tiny and her handler said she was 4lbs. One even looked to be the exact same size as Lacy (7lbs) and he was 6.5lbs at 9months. These were all show quality yorkies that met the standard. Next time you should ask them if they've ever read the Yorkie standard or seen a show quality yorkie.

Exactly

How Sad.

My guy is 5 lbs at 6mnths, I can hardly remember when he was just 3 lbs, but I can remember he was tiny. I can't imagine anyone calling 3 lbs BIG!

There are alot of people in my area that think there is such a thing as a teacup(which we all know is not true) and are willing to go to extremes to get one. Your boy is a nice healthy weight and dont let anyone put his size down.

Well said!!

I don't know about you, but mine are perfect....I don't see a thing wrong with them!!

I have the same problem BUT... opposite !! When people see my Ricky, the first thing they ask is how old he (he's almost 8 months) and weighs 2.5 lbs., they comment about how small he is AND THEN...you get the really rude people who make comments like...."He's the size of a RAT !!!" Or, ( I love this one) "he's cute but I like real dogs" Which just shows the old saying to be true... " You can't please everyone, so you please yourself"

Don't worry. My Lilly got to 12 pounds, but she still looks small. I took her for a walk around a small lake by my house, and there was a family with a yorkie boy. When we were passing them, the woman said that my Lilly is FAT ... can you believe it.... I was sooooo upset, and I told her she is not FAT she is just a little bigger then your dog. I was upset because even though she is 12lb. she is still cute and lovable. I'm still trying to figure out how i post her picture next to my name.

I personally hope he gets to atleast 4 pounds. can you believe that 3 pounds is BIG! his puppy was 4 months and small but not much smaller than max....lets hope for that puppies sake he stays small

If your "little" guy is big then I guess my Noah is HUGE. He's "only" 7 months old and is "already" 3.7 pounds! Should I reinforce the doggy steps so he doesn't collapse them?! (Yes, that was supposed to be sarcastic )

I seriously don't understand people

Wow, Baxter is 17 lbs of mine mine mine Yorkie fun, I say mine mine mine cause thats his attitude and I wouldnt trade him for the world!

I think they want a cricket size dog. One lady asked me why I would buy a large Yorkie.
I said because the little ones get mean hyper and break there legs to much.
She said she had a sm yorkie and I said
Well...then..she turn around and mumble something
I really do not believe what I just said..
(the little ones get mean hyper and break there legs to much)
But I knew this conversation was going to a rude one with her so I nipped right back
I do have my days

Wow my Lucy is about 15/16 weeks old and weighs 3.4 pounds already. and I love every bit of her. I hope she's on the larger side personally, so I don't worry about people not seeing her and accidently stepping on her or something.

That's so funny! Think about what their bark would sound like then! Creak, Creak, Crik-Creak!

At 4 1/2 lbs, I took Gracie in to see my vet. Some ignorant people said, "MY GOD, SHE'S HUGE!" Just gotta shake it off. It's a shame when ignorant people don't even realize how stupid they really are!

Chloe is 2.2lbs at 8 months & I would LOVE if she'd make it to 3lbs, let alone 4lbs.

The vet says she's most likely done growing, though...if anything a few more ounces
