It is only a problem if your breeder promised your pup would be a certain weight. Many promise potential buyers that their pup will not be larger than 4lbs when they know very well the pup could be quite a bit larger.
I have never seen a Yorkie that was not adorable no matter what the size. |
I agree, too many breeders have no clue what size their puppies will be but promise what the seller wants to hear. To me size and health is important. While I don't want a three pound pup, I also don't want a 12 pounder, so I would never buy a puppy under about 14 weeks or so. Lola was 16 weeks so I had a better sense of her size and health.
OP sounds like you have a healthy dog which is great, but I can't help but wonder if your breeder promised you an adult size?
