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... |
