We were the first in North America to grow species such as Glossostipula concinna, Zinowiewia matudae, Lozanella enantiophylla, Weinmannia pinnata, Meliosma matudae, Cedrela salvadorensis, and Heberdenia penduliflora. Over the decades, the collection has matured into a realistic representation of cloud forest habitat.
The Silky Terrier dog breed exemplifies the expression âsmall dog, big personality.â Weighing just eight to 10 pounds when full grown, heâs tough and confident, perhaps because of his heritage as a hunter of small prey. Beneath the feistiness, however, is a loving companion dog who loves to stick close to his person.
A standard Yorkshire terrier usually weighs no more than 7 pounds, but a Shih Tzu is considered small at 9 pounds. Because they're a designer cross and not an official breed, there is no real standard for a shorkie's size, but the Shorkie Club of America lists the typical weights from 4 to 12 pounds.
