THAT SAID, indications ARE showing your boy is going to be over the 7 pounds Yorkies are suppose to be according to the Standard for the Breed.
If it really bothers you, sell him to someone that will love him no matter how large he gets. Please do NOT try to control his growing. You can do him Long Term Physical Harm! |
I think people tend to for get yorkies used to be bigger then they were breed down to now so throw backs happen. The breeder I got Ollie from Sid at 5 months he was bigger then his parents and all his siblings so it happens sometimes. In A LOT of cases I have seen the runt become the biggest out of the litter lol.
