I would not guess he was only 9 weeks from the photo...but it is very possible, since he is a larger Yorkie. Yes, he is big for his age, but perhaps his family is oversized as well. You will have a good idea his age when his puppy teeth start falling out...usually at 5 months..although they can lose the tiny ones in front at 4 1/2.

AS to his "man parts"..I can see testicules at 4 to 6 weeks sometimes, so that is tricky.
Puppies can be conceived at different times in the mating...if the smaller of the litter catches up in a few weeks, then I say it was the runt...if it stays small, then it is genetically made to be "tiny"...you have a wonderful boy, his size is unimportant as you say, unless you were promised a tiny and paid for a tiny.
