how large do yorkies get
The other element is a standard Yorkie that falls under or over the expected weight and/or size range. Breed standards have changed. The AKC used to list a minimum weight of 4 pounds (1.81 kg). Now, there is only a maximum weight of 7 pounds (3.17 kg) for a full grown, adult Yorkie. Even with this change on paper, most Yorkshire Terriers fit into the 3 to 7 lb. (1.36 kg to 3.17 kg) range. A dog smaller than this, fully grown, would be considered too small and may have size related health issues.
