The size of a pup at the time of delivery has NOTHING to do with the size of the Dad!...The size of a puppy when it matures to adulthood has EVERYTHING to do with Genetics...
A puppy will only grow as big as the uterus has room for it to grow...That is why singleton litters, 3 puppy litters are so worrisome...You have a uterus in the shape of two horns that puppies develop in...When there is only one puppy in a horn it has more room to grow larger in than if it was sharing this horn with other siblings...
In all breeds of dogs typically males are larger than females, Yorkies are no exception...
That being said it is IMO extremely important to breed Yorkies that are good examples of the breed and to try and produce puppies that are so as well!
