Welcome to YT, I have had 4 yorkies all now past, all gotten at 8 weeks of age, I cannot remember their weight at 8 weeks. I am responding to the floppy ears. 2 had floppy ears, 2 had stand up ears. Many yorkie ears do not stand up, that does not mean they are not pure breed, all 4 of my pups as adults weighed from 10 lbs. to 17 lbs. all were AKC registered. As for your vet. My last girl weighed 17 lbs, my vet asked if she was a silky because she was so big. Because your vet questioned purebred because of weight at 9 1/2 doesn't make her a bad vet. YT member advise it is best to have a vet that is more familiar with smaller breeds, and I agree, however, depending on where a person lives, they can be hard to find. Your vet like my vet, handles many breeds, I wouldn't worry about her commenting on your pups weight at the age she is. Yorkies are an awesome breed regardless of floppy or straight ears or their weight. She is a lil sweetie, a face sure to melt many hearts. Good luck and enjoy that lil baby.
