Hello everyone, I just adopted a puppy and I'm unsure about her age. The people I adopted her from say she was born on April 30, which would make her 11 weeks old. However, they provided me with little paperwork and there are several reasons this seems a bit dubious to me. The whole thing may seem a little sketchy (it was in Miami so that goes without saying). However, I fell in love with her when I met her and they sold her to me for a low price, saying they were both working full time and could no longer properly care for her.

Firstly, she's already completely pee pad trained (which I am very thankful for). Secondly, she weighs 3.6 pounds and a few of the hairs on her face already seems to be turning from gold to silver. Her coloring seems to indicate the proper AKC guidelines though.

The sellers provided me with little documentation. A certificate of vaccination at 4 weeks old, but her weight is listed as 3 pounds (seems a bit much for a Yorkie), with no doctor listed. I do plan on bringing her to the doctor. Finally, there was her mother's records showing her as being 3 pounds at 19 weeks old.

I'm thinking the sellers were trying to sell her as being younger than she is or had no clue of her age. I plan on bringing her to the vet this week, so hopefully that will answer my questions, but I've been reading this forum for a while and thought someone could provide some feedback.
