Yorkshire Terriers should be 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder and weigh no more than seven pounds, with four to six pounds being preferred.

Yorkies are inconsistent in size. It's not unusual for a single litter to contain one Yorkie weighing less than four pounds, one who weighs five or six pounds, and one who grows to be 12 to 15 pounds.

Beware of breeders who offer "tea cup" Yorkshire Terriers. Dogs who are smaller than the standard are prone to genetic disorders and are at a higher health risk in general.

why they cost so much

WHY DO YORKSHIRE TERRIERS COST SO MUCH? I WANT TO GET TWO OF THEM AND I CANT AFFORD IT. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW I CAN GET THEM WITHOUT PAYING THAT MUCH.
