I thought I found the perfect little male until I asked for additional pictures, parents size. I received the additional pictures (I asked for normal pictures) instead I received a dressed up yorkie that looked a little bit bigger then he should be up against a pillow and on a lap. What do I need to say when I ask about babies to where I am not wasting your time nor mine? |
I would not breed a 12 pound , but it is very possible for this pair to produce a puppy of 6 pounds full grown and even smaller ones ........genetics will show (some can be like mom and others like dad), maybe the puppy is looking after the daddy or maybe grandparents are smaller yorkies. If you are looking just for a pet and you do like this male , I don't see a problem...now if you are looking for breeding , I would not buy one with parents that are way over the standard as it is more likely that he will end up throwing some big puppies down the road, just like grandma.
