You're so right Donna. A breeder should never guarantee an adult size. Even when line breeding yorkies. The first 3 generations are the biggest contributing factor into a pups make-up. But, breeding yorkies is very difficult as you can't breed pheno type to pheno type as you can in say poodles. Then in this case, this is a mixed breed.....all bets are off the table.

To the OP, my suggestion; if you have a contract addressing the deposit. Turn to that. If not, give the person back their deposit. It's better to place your pup in a loving stable home, where it's going to beloved, regardeless of size. If this lady is unsure, based on the size, I wouldn't want my pup in that home anyway. More than likely the pup will end up in rescue.
