KC registration papers goes like this. The breeder's mating pair is registered with the KC, when that Dam has a litter the breeder registers that litter with the KC, if she has 3, 5, or 7 babies that is the number of puppies the breeder registers. No one can say at birth how much a puppy will weigh as an adult, and, KC is not interested in the weight of the dogs. The standard weight of not to exceed 7 pounds is if you are going to show the dog they cannot weigh more then 7 pounds. My now passed girl as an adult weighed in at 17 pounds and she was AKC registered. The reason you would register your dog was if you were to breed him, if he is not registered but the Dam is, her litter cannot be registered with the KC because your male is not registered, that's all those KC papers are for. I have to assume if you haven't received the KC papers the breeder did not register the litter with the KC. You can pursue the issue with the breeder by calling until you receive the KC papers. KC papers does not make your Bertie a better or a lesser yorkie. He is a yorkie regardless what size / weight he is. Just love that lil boy for the yorkie he is.
