It really depends on the dogs in your yorkie's pedigree. Does your breeder know the weights of your pup's parents, grandparents, other relatives. What age did the breeder's yorkie lines stop growing? You could get a better guess, if you asked her. |
This is so true it really does depend on the lines and what age they the breeders lines stop growing. And this takes time to learn in your lines as a breeder. I like to see a litter that is close to the same weight and grow at a steady pace. But then there can be a throw back in the lines somewhere and end up with 2 pups in a litter and one ends up being 5lbs and one 12lbs
And your like holy molly what just happened here. But I agree as long as they are healthy and happy there is just more to love ! Hey and they have less dental bills . The larger yorkies seem to have healthy teeth for a lot longer years
Plus remember yorkies used to be a lot larger until they were downsized. It is actually nice to see the larger sizes again and to see the people that love them
My Keeper is larger boy and he is Beautiful in every way !
