Maybe my math is wrong, but if his real birthday is 9/1 than isn't he more like 20 weeks. I am thinking this must be your first yorkie because you probably could not judge his weight when you purchased him. If your dog is almost 7 lbs now I am assuming he was about 5 lbs or larger when you purchased him, at that age he weight would most likely close to double so it would be impossibe to wind up witha five lb full grown dog. So you vet is most likely on target when he says he will be 10-12 lbs. I see this happen with many first time purchasers and unfortunately there are so many people out their breeding for profit that people get taken all the time. I have always prefered to buy a dog over 3-4 months old because you get a better indication on what the mature size, color, and coat will be. Like others have said you may have wanted smaller but there are a lot of worries with the tiny ones, this one will be able to play hard, do stairs easily, jump better, etc. Did you pay a lot for the dog and by a lot I mean over $1,000.00 if you paid in the area of $400-$600 then I don't think you have much of a beef. Also regarding who the breeder is and all that, so much depends on what you were given in writing to see if you have a chance on getting a partial refund, I am assuming that is what you are after, and from experience that will be hard to get. |
