Who are you to say that my yorkies are not "normal"?? Yorkies grow at different rates. Both my yorkies came from the same parents but different litters. Obviously this is "normal" for their line. They both went through their big growth spurt right at 8 weeks and when we bought them, we thought they were going to be around 5 lbs. But they didn't have another big growth spurt. That doesn't mean that there's something wrong with them or that I'm doing something to them or that they aren't "normal." That's how their genes made them. They are small and they had their growth spurt early. Please don't go around telling people that there is something wrong with my yorkies or that they aren't "normal" just because they grew at different rates than YOUR yorkies.
