Did you actually see her parents? Even if they are small, since she is a mixed breed, she may have inherited her larger size from her Poodle genes. Genetics are tricky even in purebred dogs. |
could have even inherited the genes from a larger yorkie. Look at my yorkie, her parents were 4 lbs and mine ended up at almost 14 lbs
