Genetics plays an important roll. You may have a 5lb mom and a 3lb dad yet there back ground consists of 7-8 lb dogs. This can creep up in a breeding.
Good example breeding Bella 5.5lbs-Cappie 5lbs, their pups adult size about 4.5lbs - 5.lbs, one of their siblings was quite a bit smaller "baby" he just hit a bit over 2. lbs at 17 weeks old. I suspect he will be around 3.5lbs adult weight but I wouldnt bet if used as stud he would produce smaller than 4.5-5lbs puppies because of his pedigree.
hope this helps |
Do breeders give out that type of information before you purchase a puppy from them? Or even before considering them as the breeder for your future yorkie? I have seen pedigrees but I havent seen any that give the height and weight besides from the parents.
