Standard say, "Must not exceed 7 pounds", but this only applies to breeding dogs, not pets. Some breeders don't follow standard, and eventually even a purebred Yorkies won't look like a Yorkie. A breeder picks and choose which traits she is passing on, whether she knows it or not. How much does your boy weigh? They say you can double the 12 week weight and get an estimate give or take a pound. By the way, a larger dog can throw smaller offspring and visa versa, that's why it's important for the breeder to know the line. |
