| I guess I'm just comfortable with Sasha's weight (8lbs) so I chose that one. Yorkies that are smaller are so cute though as well! I think I'd be even more afraid to step on them though. |

| I prefer the larger size yorkie, around 9-10 lbs is perfect. My previous yorkies were all 7 lbs and under, and I was always a nervous wreck with them. Constantly hovering over them, worrying they'd get hurt, stepped on, etc. I'm much more relaxed now with Snickers and Baxter, 9 lbs and 12 lbs. They have all the beauty and attitude of the breed, but in a sturdier package.

| Toby weighs 16 lbs. and I was watching him run around the backyard today and thinking what a perfect size he was. Our choco lab, Maggy, weighed 98, so we think Toby is tiny. He doesn't like being carried around, I don't think he would sit still that long. |

| I love all the sizes! Twinkle is about 13lb and Wicket is 8....and they are the perfect size for me, especially with a four-year old and a two-year old running around! But.......I love love love looking at the pics of the smaller yorkies and I would definitely like one when the children are grown xxx

| Can't say.... I have two very different yorkies: Walker is in the 8-9 pound range, tall, long body and very sleek looking. Morgan is only 3 pounds as of now, short stubby legs and very delicate looking. They both have their advantages and disadvantages based on their size but size was never something I made a priority. I love this breed no, matter what size or color.

| My Nia is 11 lbs, but I chose the 13+ selection because I figured the more yorkie the better. |

| I have one that is 9 lbs and then a puppy that I am hoping will be under 7lbs. We will see. I love them both but think that the little ones are so cute, however, they can't be too small at out house as we have lots of activityl Theresa |
