Too big to be yorkie? - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Rubi · 08-20-2007, 03:42 PM

Your Snooki is sooo adorable. I also like bigger yorkies better. My Rubi and Jennie weigh around 7 pounds but Rubi's mom is quite big, around 12/13 pounds. Snooki seems all yorkie to me. He's got beautiful hair colour. Conformation to the standard is one thing and being a true yorkie another. Give him a huge hug for me.

my brother has a yorky around 13 pounds.he looks like a giant yorky. lol

medusa512 · 08-21-2007, 01:04 PM

so all this time i was thinking edgar weighs like 10-13 lbs. NO! had him weighed at the vet saturday. he's a dang 17.2 LB!

so i think that they should change the standard. there are poodles and mini poodles, dobies and mini dobies, so why on earth can't there be yorkies and mini yorkies??????

I always read the threads about SUPER SIZES Yorkies or Teapots, and have yet to read about one, the size of Chelsea.

Chelsea was 20.6 lbs in April when she had a vet visit. HE LAUGHED-said she was the BIGGEST yorkie he has ever seen. Chelsea swore to him it was "water weight", but it was a no go for him, and he put her on Lite Science Diet immediately. Recently she went to a groomer, that has a the walk on scale, and she weighed in at almost 18 lbs.

We like to tell her she is just a BIG BONED girl, so she doesnt get her feelings hurt.

Hope you are able to view the pics, its my first try sending pics.

Your baby is beautiful. I have Lola, a 15 pounder, Teddy a 7 pounder and Rosie Mae at 5 pounds. Most people gravitate to Rose since she is small and very petite but I just tell Lola not to worry as there is more of her for me to hug.

From what I have been told and have read, the larger yorkies were bred in England and when America noticed the yorkie, they were the ones to breed down the size. Don't know how true this is but that is what I read.

Anyway, I think your "little" boy is adorable.

You know, unless you're showing your Yorkie and MUST be within the standard, I think it's much ado about nothing. My girl is an 8 pounder and very healthy. I used to worry that she was too big and then I began to see more and more Yorkies. It often seems that the weight is where the focus is, but the "demensions" are also an issue. I've seen Yorkies with the same apparent demensions as mine, but weighing less...or more.
Honestly, I think the desire for "purse" puppies has not helped the breed.

Chelsea wants to see a picture of WeeWee, plz.

We took Tucker to the vet last week (He hasnt' been feeling well

). He weighs 16 pounds! Poor little guy has all types of nicknames around here haha. My friend calls him Rolly Polly. and my whole family calls him sausage.

SMITH215 · 02-02-2009, 06:34 PM

Hi
My Maxwell is about 18 lbs. He is 14 months old, and at first I thought maybe I was given a mix, but he is pure. He is also the sweetest thing! He is just precious. I wondered if anyone else had one as large as him. He has a looooong body. I wouldn't trade him for a million. I also have his sister who, at 71/2 months is about 9 lbs. She has looong legs. They are so different. Is there more than one 'body style'?

The vet says he must loose some weight. Around here he's called " Porky Yorkie."
