I am getting ready to bring my puppy home in a few weeks. The breeder contacted me this morning to tell me that he was 2.lbs 12 ounces. She also said that his adult size should be 5.6 ounces because you double the weight at 8 weeks. I thought that a better guesstimate was trip,ing at 8 weeks and doubling at 12. This would make him closer to nine pounds-right? She said she never heard of this and when I referenced charts that I have seen, she said she didn't know what I was talking bout. Although I do not want a tiny dog, I have shared with her that I do want a dog within the standard size. I know you can't guarantee weight but what is bothering me is that she keeps telling me things that contradict what I have read. He is the biggest of the litter but I didn't have choice because there were only two males and she decided to let a person purchasing two puppies have first choice of the two males. She is clean and takes care of her pets. she told me he has a good temperment. I really want a yorkie within breed standard size. Is there any chance this puppy could stay 7 pounds or under?i am paying the same price as the smaller females that are. Being sold with full registration. Just a case of pre puppy anxiety.
