I read the entire thread. Sorry you were scammed I learned the hard way too about buying your breeder first and never having a dog flown to you.
Congratulations on having an oversized Yorkie they are the best!
Teapots are what we call them...
A completely unofficial cutesy term pet yorkie owners use.
Please join the offiicial teapot yorkie club!
FYI
no breeder no matter how reputable can ever guarantee the size your pup will turn out at...they can best guess and give an approximation based on the size of the parents but other than that they are lying.
Show breeders who have 20+ years experience often rehome or pet out potential show ups because at a year old they didn't turn out where they had hoped.

My Schnorkie was guaranteed (by rescue behaviorist) to be under 12 pounds at 5 months he's now 21 my Elvis is a pure Yorkie @ 9 pounds, I LOVE the bigger Yorkies personally.

I contacted the Dog Warden of her county, BBB, DBA, and AKC, and Attorney General and no one cares. Coco is a great dog now and very sweet but has a lot of anxiety we can't seem to get her to get over. And she is a whopping 12 pounds. All this from a dog that was supposed to be under 10 pounds fully grown, "guaranteed". |
