Responsible breeders take great care to produce puppies who will grow up to look as close to the Yorkies standard as possible. Puppy mills (pet shops) and backyard breeders just put two pet quality dogs together to produce puppies for profit. The result is unpredictable. |
I don't see where you can guarentee that all AKC Yorkies are purebreed. I have seen some AKC Yorkies that I clearly didn't look anything like a Yorkie. Some of the biggest puppy mills use AKC.
OP: I know I have had puppies that stop growing after 6 months. I have had some gain a pound after a year old. There is no way to guarantee weight. Just have to wait and see.
