My Sabrina is a T-cup, When I started looking for my babies I wanted standard if not bigger sized yorkies with all the yorkie traits for my breeding program, the breeder I bought Sabrina from told me she would grow to be atleast 6 to 7 pounds which I was extremely happy and excited about, unfortunately Sabrina didn't grow that much at all, she grew to only be 3 pounds. When I knew she wouldn't grow that much I wanted to get her fixed but my vet at the time told me he wanted her to gain a little more weight before putting her under for surgery but somehow she got pregnant which cost me $3500 for a c-section, she is fixed now, but the point to this was that I know for a fact the breeder who sold Sabrina to me truly believed in her heart that my baby would be a bigger yorkie because the dogs she bred were both over 7 pounds but it really doesn't matter the size of the mother and father, because both Sabrina's parents are over 7 pounds, she must of just been the runt of the litter. I will tell you what though, I used to be so scared for Sabrina even when she plays with my other dogs who are all over 5pounds, Lucy is 5.5, Charlie is 7, and blaine is 6.5, but to be so small she holds her own, in fact she has given Charlie and Blaine a couple of good cuts from biting them she is extra fiesty and territorial.
The dog I bred Lucy with weighs 3 pds, but Lucy's babies both weigh over 5 oz, the girls weight was 6.2 oz and the boy was 5.8 oz when they were born, I have to weight them again today, but basically both of Lucy's babies were good sized babies and I'm sure they will be over 5 pounds because when Lucy was born she only weighed 4.5 oz and Charlie weighed 6 oz so based on their weight when first born I'm guessing my new babies will be over 5 pds. What do you guys think? |
