JJ the Giant Yorkie

18lb yorkie weighs more than the combined weight of his parents.
Sadly both dad and mom passed away in 2022, in January and December respectively.

Giant Yorkies = more Yorkie to love. Proud Mom of one for 12.5 years. Bestest dog ever. Missing him terribly a year and a half later.

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Agree 100%. I’m sorry for your loss.

[@Filipomnomnom]

Exactly my thoughts. I got a yorkie because i love them and i did not know that mine will be a giant. Thank god he is because i did not even want a small one. He looks exactly like JJ but floppy eared. Best thing is not worrying that a bigger dog will crush them while playing or even worse if they get attacked.

Sorry about further baby. We lost our Cooper Oct. 10th. he was 13.5... we were so use to him being with us it is hard to understand how short 13 yrs can fly by... he averaged 12.5 & 14 lbs. Would love to find another black giant yorkie. The breeder had put Cooper in the dog pound because his ears would not stand up.. go figure.. so he was papered.

My Yorkie Caesar weighs 19.7lbs. His mother was 5 lbs and his Pops (he just passed RIP) was 7 lbs.

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Wow, amazing how genetics works. Sorry to hear of Caesar’s pop’s passing. Gotta love our yorkies🥰

mom and dad must be so proud of their son :D

Giant Yorkie is a healthy dog!

[@numbnutz9398]

I have a Yorkie poodle cross. Same thing. Dad was 5.5 pound Yorkie and mom was an 8 pound poodle. We expected something in between, but he is 15 pounds!

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Funny how that works. Gotta love them big or small.

My Yorkie Chico is 22lbs of love loves 💕 😘

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Oh wow, 22lbs is indeed a lot to love!

I’m so sorry for your loss. What an amazing long life she lived and I’m sure you have many great memories. The heartache is real. Hugs.

this is so adorable

[@doddsalfa]

Hope this beautiful genius is a live and well

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

JJ is indeed alive and well. He’s 7 years old and just as spunky and goofy as he was as a puppy.

[@doddsalfa]

@@NotSoFastOldtymer it’s wonderful to hear 😊

[@larryyoderlarryyoder353]

I got a big yorkie too

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Cool. Gotta love our big yorkies 😍

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

Yorkies were meant to be about 17 pounds. Silly people bred them to be smaller.

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Interesting, I haven’t done much research into the origins of Yorkies aside from their breed behaviour traits. It makes sense that they were bigger. I

Hello you😅😅😅Giny France

[@Saurophaganax1931]

I wonder if he has Gigantism like Andre the Giant.

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

😂😂😂

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

I think that it’s just the roll of genetic dice. Just like humans having different sized offspring.

[@pebbles9908]

I think JJ's parents might be the parents of my giant Yorkie. 🤔

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Is your giant yorkie from BC? Sadly both parents are no longer alive. Jimmy passed only a couple weeks after these pics were taken, 2 years ago, and Poppy passed a few weeks ago 😢

[@pebbles9908]

@@NotSoFastOldtymer I'm so sorry for your loss. I truly don't know what I would do if my Pebbles passed.

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Thanks, JJ’s parents were not my dogs, they belonged to an elderly gentleman who has suffered this huge loss but JJ did regularly see his parents at the dog park. Jimmy was only 6 at the time of his passing. 🥲

[@pebbles9908]

@Not So Fast Oldtymer People who do not have pets have no understanding of how close they become. They are truly members of the family.

My yorkie weighs 10 kg and quite bigger than his parents ( about 2 kg each one). Also my dog is 1m tall when he is on his two paws😮, he has long paws!😮

Oh wow, he’s a big one indeed. 😍 just more to love ❤️

JJ was DNA tested because I wasn’t sure he was all yorkie but his results said he is 100% yorkie.

[@user-du5tg4si2j]

There is no such thing as a giant YORKIE. This dog is a MIXED BREED because TRUE yorkies are always SMALL if they are PURE BREEDS!

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

The word Giant in the title wasn’t referencing a breed name, he’s a yorkie. DNA test confirmed he is and all his siblings are small. I think it’s one of those odd genetic things that happen in many species, including humans.

[@stevenglenn4498]

He’s not a Yorkie. He’s a Silky Terrier (Silky)

[@NotSoFastOldtymer]

Interesting thought, but dna test says yorkie
