Anyone with larger yorkies? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yorkiegrl1983 · 04-09-2009, 11:58 AM

I am a proud mom of 3 yorkies and one of which happens to be a "large", silver and blonde girl. I have had people ask me so many times "What kind of dog is that?" or "Is THAT a yorkie?". It sounds almost ugly when they say it while looking at her. Ally is about 16 lbs; she is muscular, not chubby at all. I am not into showing dogs, but I know she isnt the standard yorkie. I have a male that is almost 5 lbs and he has the "typical" yorkie appearance. Ally definitely has the personality though, and I love her no matter how she looks. I am just out to find anyone who has a larger yorkie that I can see pictures of?? I have seen a couple here or there but if any of you have a larger yorkie, maybe even silver and blonde please let me know if I may look at your pictures?? THANKS SO MUCH for allowing me to be nosey!

Do I ever! Jackson is 6 months old and weighing in at about 13 pounds! I love every ounce of him and think he's the PERFECT size dog for me!

The 2nd pic I took as a joke, to show the size of him next to a Coke can! lol

My chachi is 11 lbs and blonde and silver. Hes in my avatar. Dont worry about what other people say my groomer thinks chachi is a silky because hes so much bigger than my other yorkie. On here we call the larger yorkies teapots

Layla is 11 lbs of pure yorkie love

This is her winter weight... in the summer she's closer to 9 lbs

It's too cold to go for walks in the winter!

My Pao is 10lbs worth of cutie pie

. I also usually get the he is big comment. In Canada, I have yet to see a Yorkie that is bigger than he is. All of them are half his size. They are 5lbs or under so Pao is a giant compared to them. On the other hand, he gets a lot of compliments for his silky fur and colouring. He has real nice black and tan colouring.

Ginger and Bernie are both around 13-15 lbs. I used to obsess on their weight and weigh them every chance I got. LOL, now I can't even recall exactly how much that is. They are in good shape physically, just big for yorkies. Bernie is taller than Ginger by about 2 inches, people really question his breed.

I think they are perfect.

My Barley is 9 lbs. Which I'm thrilled with. When I rescued him two months ago he was 6 lbs and skin & bones.

Please, ignore these people when they make the remarks about your girl's size. Some people are just ignorant to how mother nature works. These are probably the same people who will tell you they want or have a "teacup" Yorkie. Which I jump on right away and say that's not an AKC recognized standard for size.

I'm not very computer savvy so I don't know how to make my photos smaller to add to my posts. But if you go to my profile and look through my albums you'll see my lovies.
