I would be angry too ! I have sat near their grooming windows to watch the groomers. ( I have never taken my dogs to Petsmart grooming) just sat there to watch when we were picking up supplies. It seems that all of them cut all the dogs super short! I saw a yorkie in there and the whole body was shaved down to the skin almost! The little face was way too short even for a puppy cut. Yorkies come in different sizes , I understand that the AKC standard is 4-7 lbs. So we don't have standard yorkies ,big deal. But they are purebred if we seen the proof, parents AKC papers ...!
I have the opposite reaction when people see my yorkie they all comment on how this is a true yorkie not like those big yorkies they see often. I remember a vet assistant say " Now that's what a true purebred yorkie looks like" I told her that mine was actually not considered a standard because he was under the standard weight and weighs 3 lbs. People telling you that your yorkie is not purebred is like saying that one of your kids must not be yours or your hubby's because they don't have the physical trates lol
Many,many employees at Petsmart are not very trained and have not done the research on many animal related things!
About estimating your pup's fullgrown weight, you weigh him at 12 weeks and double that weight and that is an estimate. Mine was a good estimate and he weighs double his weight from 12 weeks old.But an honest breeder will be honest and tell you that an estimate is just that an estimate. Other things can be a factor.
This happens more often than you think and it can be upsetting.
