This is why i wanted to know who puts the weight factor or is it an average estimate between both weights. or does it have to do with wanting tiny yorkies. |
genetics on EITHER side play a huge part in the weight factor. grandparents, great grandparents and etc. people mate the smaller males to larger females ONLY for the safety of the female. You should NEVER breed a seven pound male with a five pound female, no matter how small he 'looks".
