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. |
The breeder said the puppies from previous litters all ended up around 6-7lbs as adults. He's only bred Molly (Leo's Mom) 3 times. Leo's Mom is 6-7lbs, and his Dad is 8lbs.
