I saw Pooky's pictures and he is very very cute. I really haven't a clue what size he'll be based on his father or anything but he looks like a good Yorkie, not one of those tiny, undersized dogs that often are subject to several types of medical problems due to its tiny size. It seems a lot of your posts contain a great deal of wording on size/weight, etc., in this last day or so and I hope that's not all that important to you, rather a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog. If I were you, I would hope for a slightly larger, more substantial dog as they typically can lead more normal, happier doggie lives and are not as easily injured, do better under anesthesia when that is necessary for neutering/dentals, aren't usually as frail and can overall have a better quality of life than a smaller, more fragile dog. A simple jump off a chair or couch can really injure a fragile dog with thinner bones and joints a lot more easily than a larger, stronger one so take heart if he's bigger than you want and love him no matter what size he turns out to be. Looks as if you got a really good little dog - his ears are nice-sized, fully up and seem well-placed and I like the look of his eyes. I don't see a very wide/narrow chest with shoulders poorly placed or anything and overall he looks compact, tail seems well-placed and he's not high on leg or anything. I'd be very pleased to have such a cute little guy. Golly, I wouldn't care what size he grows up to be. He looks like a good Yorkie.
