Yeah, I don't know! It's weird isn't it? My breeder said very occasionally she would get a 'tiny' but she had a lot of trouble selling these (I guess it's different in England... everyone wants a Yorkie Tea Chest! Haha!) and she didn't know why it happened because the breeding line was all in that weight range (about four to five pounds). She's pretty much predicted his growth weight almost to the ounce and week which I find bizarre seeing as most people don't seem to know how it'll work out. It's a subject of much discussion on here... some have very small puppies that land up being their biggest dogs and others have bigger puppies that just stop growing sometime. I guess the most important thing is that they're happy, healthy and loved. Everything else is just academic really
(your Tiffany looks like she has a great pedigree by the way. I like it when they give official documentation like that)
