She's 14.1 pounds...Remember, years ago, they used to breed them to be bigger, and sometimes you get a throw back..sometimes the runt of the litter becomes the biggest, and the biggest ends up being the smallest..so please, just remember this..we can't expect breeders to know, so we shouldn't really even question them on this subject..I know a lot of yorkie breeders(heck I'm getting my little guy from one), and all she ever says is this is a estimate/guess, and shes a good breeder for saying this....

As a breeder/exhibitor.....The only thing you can depend on these yorkies to do is "Make A Liar Out Of You".......

As you said....A good breeder can only estimate and not even that....Each line is different.
