want a bigger yorkie! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ella Blue · 10-26-2009, 12:54 PM

Hello, I went to see the most adorable wee girl today - she was gorgeous and I fell in love with her. It did make me realize I'd like a bigger yorkie though. I'm thinking 7-10 pounds!

I am doing my research and visiting breeders - I hope I can find a big one. I just adore them - the energy and beauty are like no other dog I've met.

I hope I can find a bigger one!

thanks for listening. If you have any advice, I'd love it!

big is good! Molly weighs in at 15lbs, and i still think she is small! Hope you manage to find a pup soon.

I was looking into a small yorkie and ended up with Maui at 8# and he has lost a pound since last year which my vet was happy with. But it is hard to know what to find as his father was #3 and the momma was 5# when not pg, she is having weight issues now and her momma had to put her on a diet.....I just don't know how to find a healthy (my number 1 desire) smaller, reasonable yorkie, I am looking for another but I think I am going through a breeder that is a friend to my breeder (small family)< She has a web site and her pups are champions and she guarantees them and she has beautiful yorkies....that look healthy!

Oh and I dont want them shipped I'd rather go after them....Good luck!

oh I guess i should add he is almost 3 and i got him at 8weeks, I think he weighed just over 2 pounds....he has a ton of pics on myspace!

I have yorkies ranging from 3 to 9 pounds. I love them all, but shhhhhhhh don't tell the others, My big girl is my favorite. She is such a nice armful to hug.

We have 2 teapots....LOVE them. We have a 6.5#r....LOVE him!

Girl ...you cannot go wrong with a Yorkie!

The bigger the better!! My girls 5.5lbs and she is small! I wish she was bigger. I'd love to get her a playmate one day that would be around 7 lbs. I think they are more sturdy and can handle life better IMO.

I think the 9-11 lbs range is perfect. They are still a very small dog, but a little sturdier than the tinies. Snickers and Baxter are 9 and 12 lbs and I'm thankful they are bigger. They love to roughouse, and I'd be a wreck if I had to worry about them getting hurt or stepped on all the time.

Also, the bigger ones are just so beautiful. Think of all the best qualities of a yorkie, but in a bigger package.
