 Weight  Bailey, my 5 month old Yorkie, is weighing in at 9.5 pounds! Does anyone think this is a little much for a yorkie? He's purebred, but Im starting to think he's a silky instead!   |  
 
 Post a picture here if you have one.  We'd like to see him.   |  
 
 I would love to see what he looks like! There are a lot of "bigger" yorkies!   |  
 
 Some of the YT members have some pretty big ones.  They did a poll a while back and I think the largest was 21 pounds.  Did the breeder have silkies also?  |  
 
 9 pounds is only 2 pounds over not big at all   |  
 
 there are lots of bigger yorkies out there... check out this link  http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...er+size+yorkie  |  
 
 According to the yorkie standards, a yorkie is not suppose to get over 7 pounds. However, I have seen yorkies that get much bigger, and yours is only 2 pounds over so I woulden't worry about it unless you are showing him or breeding him. It just means you have more of him to love! :D   |  
 
 My JacJac is supposed to be 5 lbs but is pushing 7! :eek:  He just loves to eat!  He's almost as wide as he is long!  My Beanie (the bean-pole) is only 3.2lbs and a lot of people think my chubby JacJac is cuter! :p   I love my teacup and tea kettle yorkies either way...they're still adorable to me!! :aimeeyork  :aimeeyork   |  
 
 2 Attachment(s)  Here's a couple pictures of Bailey....I just cant believe he's almost 10 pounds!   :aimeeyork   |  
 
 He's so cute.   :animal36   |  
 
 Kristen - Your dog looks like my dog's twin brother.  My dog weighs about 8 1/2 pounds - maybe more.  And, really, like everyone said - our dogs are only a couple pounds over the AKC standard.    I don't know about you, but I am totally in love with my dog's size. He is so healthy and playful, and I don't have to constantly watch him or worry about him at all. I think you and I have very handsome little Yorkies. Carol Jean  |  
 
 I agree, I think my dog DOES look very healthy....but I was just worried he was overweight. Dont get me wrong though, I absolutely LOVE Bailey....hes a ball of fire that keeps me on my toes!  :)   |  
 
 He is cute.  You have to remember that the original yorkies were like 15-18 pounds and since they have been bred down, throw backs can happen.  You dog looks like a yorkie to me but is probably just a larger one.  I know of a yorkie here in town that is 14 lbs. and she's all yorkie!   |  
 
 lexi is a little fatty too... my girl is so thick all around... and heavy!!  too much of that macaroni...kidding!! dont know how she got that way.. i really dont feed her alot...  |  
 
 forgot to say, lexi is around 8 whole pounds...   |
