Breeders use size charts and a good breeder has their pairing down to a fine art.
Genetics like to remind everyone a fine art isn't perfection.
Fair to say bot my Elvis and scoobers came from bad breeders.
At 5 months Scoobers was about 5 almost 6 pounds he was expected to not be more than 10 he ranges from 17 to 21 pounds now, he is a mix yorkie and mini Schnauzer-a schnorkie.
Elvis came from a breeder who breeders for undersized yorkies and had done so breeding dogs under 5a pounds for several generations Elvis is just over 12 pounds.
By most estimates yours is growing normally and will most likely be within the standard, however having an over standard yorkie is just more to love.
Great teapot club here for oversized yorkies. |
