I am really surprised that your vet was so skeptical. With the breeds that are thought to be involved in the lineage of the modern yorkie it is not unheard of for a dog or bitch to show up over the standard. Sasha is a hearty 7.5 lbs right now at 6 months. I don't think she is going to be much heavier but still the AKC standard says no more than 7 lbs.
