Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. I know that you can't always tell just by their current weight and stature alone, but I'm sure many experienced breeders can answer this question for me. |
"Runt" does not mean it will be a tiny Yorkie that will require more attention. My Bella was the "runt" of her litter and she outgrew two of her siblings which happened to be fairly small. Bella is average size at just under 6 lbs now and very healthy. When I got her at 12 weeks old the breeder guessed that she would probably be between 5 & 6 lbs and she was right on.
