2.We have several that weigh 12-14 oz at 10 weeks old...( trust me! a 2lb can look as tiny as a 1 lb!)
3.The mom is at the vet,
4. The father lives at a friend's house.
And so many other lies. I do have a personal preference, I like the small ones . But I won't buy a yorkie just because of it's weight. There are many ,many things to ask when buying a tiny . I do agree with everyone here. If my little 3lb Cookie who is full grown now...if he gained 10 lbs I would still adore him as much as I do now. I doubt my other little one would ever gain to be 4-5 lbs. She is just so active that she needs extra calories just to maintain her 2 lbs now at 6 months old 6/29/05 .
Check your contract. I have never seen any breeder guarantee a dog's weight.But if the yorkie was 2lbs at 8 weeks old .That is an indication that it will probably triple it's weight as an adult.It's just an estimate . For my experience with 2 yorkies it was pretty accurate. Triple the weight at 8 weeks or double the weight by 12 weeks.

# 4 can be true , I have 4 females with no males at home . Actually , I have two litters of pups . It's not all the breeders who have the father of the litter at home .
