Slim Jim or Porky Yorkie - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Well, might as well throw this one out there too! Do you have a Slim Jim or a Porky Yorkie...I DO NOT mean anything ugly when I use those terms. So, I hope that no one takes offense.

Go ahead, measure your yorkie's waist! What do you come up with?

Chester is 13 even

Gracie is 12 1/2

Rebel is a WHOPPING 11 inches!

How big are your furbabes?

haha - FUNNY thread because I measured my petite

baby Chanel and she is a good 16" around - but with hair I figure 18 because it's to the ground on both sides - Cheri is just skinny but I think around 11"

Jo-Jo · 09-24-2005, 06:10 PM

Jo is still 8 x 8 with a 10" waistline...he weighs 3lb. 9oz. at almost 10 months. Riley is 7 x 7 with about a 9" waisteline and he weighs 2lb. 6oz. at 4 months. They're both solid but I guess they're considered to be on the Slim Jim side.

oh my! what tiny babies! I bet they are PRECIOUS!!!!

red98vett · 09-24-2005, 06:23 PM

They DO sound so small - I am so used to Chanel and Cheri and always think of them as small....then I see posts with those measurements and am thinking wow !! I really love hearing all the sizes and love my girls as they are - but now I know why my arm gets tired when I hold Chanel for long times -

Jo-Jo · 09-24-2005, 06:24 PM

Yes, they are tiny but mighty and fast! I'll post their picture if they ever stay still long enough for me to take one.

haha - NOW THAT I can relate to - they sound adorable and I'd love to see them - Can you go catch them and get a few shots ?

I bet they are mighty...I used to call Chanel little Miss Mighty Mouse when she was a baby - she was like this fearless little thing always into things and determination has always been her one of her strongest traites

Jo-Jo · 09-24-2005, 06:30 PM

I better try tomorrow...it's past their bedtime and they're heading down the hallway to go ni-ni.

megan_kat22 · 09-24-2005, 06:31 PM

hahaha... Tucker is 17in. long and 16in. wide....

RowdysMom · 09-24-2005, 06:31 PM

Rowdy seems absolutely tiny to me - but he is 4 lbs at 7 months with a 10 1/2 inch waist. I just can't imagine him being any smaller!!! Of course, he is absolutely perfect just the way he is!

Marie · 09-24-2005, 06:59 PM

Gucci weighs 4 lbs 6 oz on her visit last month to the vet. Her measurements are :7" neck, 10 1/2" waist and 9" long(from neck to tail). I guess she is a Slim Jim.

Shanatink · 09-24-2005, 07:06 PM

Chloe is 9" long with a 8" waist

twinkie · 09-24-2005, 08:03 PM

Twinkie is 8" from base of neck to base of tail, 8.5" waist, 7" to the top of her shoulder, and 2lb 4 oz at over 7 months old. I'd say she is a slim jim

How are you guys measuring your yorkies height and length?

Itspuppyluv · 09-24-2005, 11:41 PM

Gus is a Slim Jim. He really isn't that small but he is so skinny. He's 12 1/2 inches from his neck to the base of his tail, 4 1/2 pounds give or take but his waist is only 8 1/2 inches.
