No, I didn't know I was getting a teapot. I did, however, know I was getting a yorkie on the bigger side. The breeder expected her to be 6-7lbs and made sure I was aware of this, as my last yorkie was 5lbs. The breeder thought she'd be a good breeding size & was the pup she was originally keeping for herself. ZoE exceeded both of our expectations and just kept growing.
Her parents were 6lb dam and 4lb sire, and all of her littermates are smaller than her as adults, although two were the same as puppies, while another two were smaller.
I just got lucky and got a very healthy teapot
