Paid for a "smaller Yorkie", breeder insisted he would be under 5 pounds since parents were as he stated, mom 4.5 pounds and dad 5.5 pounds. Saw both parents many times, I would add a pound to each parent. My puppy is 11 pounds at 7 months! Have the AKC papers as well, not that they mean much either. Don't mind paying extra for anything as long as the seller/breeder is truthful and accurate...couldn't figure out why the breeder was so willing to let me have my male pup at 8.5 weeks of age...just got a female, 8 weeks old, again breeder insisted she would be small, mom is 4.5 lbs and dad is 3 lbs. didn't pay as much but took her to my own vet yesterday and she weighed 2.5 pounds, amazingly gained 8 ounces overnight if I believe the weight the breeder told me she was when I picked her up...very shady people out there and very sad when looking for responsible breeders...disgusted and disappointed... |
