I do not know the breeder...I looked at the tape..the bitch is not a four pounder IMO...if she is, the breeder has starved her to that weight..
I have an eye for size, a useless talent. I can pick up a dog and tell within 1/4 how much they weight..and looking at the dogs frame is a give away as to what teh weight should be to match the frame..

I have had a number of girls who I consider "over achievers" in the number of puppies department...but none were under 5 to 6 pounds. My Nadine had 4,4,5 then 7 pups..she was barely 6 pounds after a big dinner. Most of my girls are stopped at 4 litters...just my way of doing it...and always before 6 yrs...I like them to go to pet homes while still young and healthy to enjoy a nice, long retirement....

PS...we are know the commentor is wrong...more teh 3 pups in a Yorkie litter is unheard of...what an ignoreant comment...and $2500, no way, teh btich is pet quality and soft coated to boot...
