I was shown a puppy that I had seen a photo on their site and he was 12 weeks and weighed 2 1/2 lbs. He was so adorable, i trusted the breeder when she estimated the pup would grow no more than 5 lbs. and I paid a high price as he was "an exclusive teddy yorkie from Brazil". There were no papers but I insisted that a pedigree should be available for a purebred puppy and she finally agreed if I had a chip implanted and get the vet to confirm that the chip was planted. I have done this, sent the vet's letter and am waiting for the next step from her. I have paid an exorbitant price for puppy that at 7lbs is standard size so I did not get what I paid for. Is thee any advice as to how I cen get compensation in some form? Thanks for listening

I am sorry this happened to you... However, I think the most important thing here is the health of your pup. I am uncertain as to why you wanted such a tiny puppy? If they are under the 2lb mark they can get very, ill, and have many health issues.
No onecan predicit how much a dog will weigh full grown. You were told what you wanted to hear. 7lbs is still a very small dog. Love the dog, please, and be grateful it is healthy.
I seriously doubt your going to recieve a refund.
