I really enjoy Couver's size- around 7 lbs. He is small enough to take places, but also sturdy enough to play with the big dogs :D |
I love alllll sizes of yorkies!! We had Bandit who was 4 lbs..but I thought he was a little too small for my lifestyle. We have Tucker who is 14 lbs, who is AWESOME and sturdy, which I LOVE. But I think my most ideal weight was Maddie, who was 7 lbs. She was the perfect amount of dainty and sturdy. They're all perfect though! :love: |
My Sasha is about 3.5lbs (last the breeder told me, I get her on Tuesday and she'll be going to the vet on Thursday, so I'll know then for sure!) and she's 6 months old, so I don't think she'll get much bigger, if at all. That's just fine with me! My friend's yorkie is 7lbs and he looks so much tinier than that! I wouldn't mind up to 7lbs... My home is just better suited for a smaller breed. |
I like that I can carry mine around. they are 4.5 and 5 lbs. I think that any bigger I would not be able to carry the both of them if I had to pick them up quickly for any reason while we were out and about. |
Jasmine is smaller than we thought she would be. We were told she would be at least 5 pounds, but she just didn't make it. Prissy, our toy poodle, is 6 pounds and we have found that we have not had to worry about her as much as we have had to about Jasmine because of her weight. We worry about her breaking a bone a lot. We did go ahead and take out insurance on her and of course have it on Prissy too. I had a tiny Chi before that lived to be 16 and I didn't worry as much about her as I do Jasmine. It may be because, here you have this tiny fragile baby that runs around like a tazmania devil with courage of a lion and an attitude of a stubborn jackass, that looks at me with eyes of a doe and then the next second rears up on her hind legs like a galloping horse. I mean with a split personality like that ........... I HAVE to worry about her.............what's a mommy to do. |
I voted for the 4-7 lb. range. I wouldn't want the dog to be less. They seem so fragile because of their small size anyway. The breeder and I have been trying to guesstimate what my the two puppies in the litter will be. I'm hoping mine will actually be around 6 lbs. just for health and safety reasons. |
I feel left out b/c i didn't get to vote in time. So here's my vote, i say 8-12lbs. I wouldn't want any animal that's so small you can feel ribs. My Ella's 9lbs. and perfect. =] |
I like up to seven pound, in standard range. :) Though as pet, I prefer the smaller because of back problem. Terry was big boy and I couldn't pick him up. |
First of all i want to say I love both of my girls with all my heart no matter what size I wouldn't trade them for anything BUT they were both estimated to be max 5 pounds full grown. Gracie i am certain is tipping the scales at 9 pounds and Bristol at 8 months is likely 7 ish. I used to weigh them routinely but it just doesn't matter anymore as long as they are healthy. Having said that when we looked for puppies we didn't want the micro tiny but we did want UNDER 5 pounds and that is still what I would have preferred. Oh well that isn't the case but I am blessed with two healthy girls that I adore! |

I love my baby's size (5.5lbs) but I think a bigger yorkie would be more durable regarding tracheas and anesthesia. |

I voted 4-7 as it's truer to standard. However, I would say that after having Bella-Boo topping out at 11-12 lbs, Abby at 9-10 lbs and Phoebe as a tight 7 lber...I do like the bigger Yorkie. |
I love my boys just the way they are (7.5 and 8 pounds), but 6 to 6.5 pounds was a perfect weight -- not too small for me, but still light enough to easily tuck under my arm. |
