We purchased him not only as another pet, but also for a possibility to breed him with our baby Lulu. When breeding, it's important for the male to be smaller than the female. Well, at 10 weeks Mojo is 3.10 Lb and Lulu is 4 Lb. at 5 months. And since he doesn't appear as a purebreed, but as a mix of some sort (and we're not sure what kind of a mix), the puppies won't be purebreed also, of course.

So we contacted the breeders, and I'll be returning him home tonight. I am very sad, as Mojo is a very cute puppy, but am also grateful that we haven't gotten too attached to him yet. I really hope he will find a good forever home.

It's possible he is all yorkie but just poorly bred. Of course you still wouldn't want to breed him in that case but there are so many poor representations of the breed (including my own who I love to pieces) who are pure yorkie. It's smart for you to recognize that he isn't good breeding stock but I bet it's really hard to let him go. Have you spent much time in the breeders forum? There is tons of great information there.
