Wow, that sucks. I feel your pain. I paid $1750 for my yorkie and yes he is an AKC purebred yorkie. We didn't get to see him at 12 weeks, but the breeder told me he weighed "about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds," which was perfect because we didn't want a tiny. We got him on a Saturday and took him to the vet on Monday and he really weighed 3lbs, 13oz. He now weighs around 10 pounds at 4 years old. We didn't plan to stock up on yorkies to get the "perfect" one so it was disappointing that he is so much bigger than breed standard. He is sweet, smart and beautiful and we loved him after only 2 days, which is why we kept him, though the breeder offered to take him back. It still pi**es me off that she got us for so much money, though. She was in a different state so trying to do anything legally was near impossible and at the end of the day we just accepted that we made mistakes in picking the breeder, but ended up with an amazing family pet that we love to pieces. I am sure your story will have the same happy ending even if you are mad as he** right now. She is super cute, so just love her and chalk it up to lessons learned. And take your time, researching how to find a reputable breeder, if you decide to bring a (another) yorkie into your family. Good luck.
