1) I would say that your little pups shouldn't be bred because they will probably be larger than standard.....
2) As far as size - I would tell prospective buyers the mother's and father's weight - and would expect them to be somewhere in between. But, you certainly need to tell them also that no one can guarantee what an adult Yorkie's weight will be - all you can do is give your honest opinion.
My little guy's mother weighed 12 pounds and his father weighed 4 1/2 pounds. I was told that he would probably weigh between 5 and 10 pounds.
I think that was a very fair estimate.
Today at 11 months --
1) My Yorkie weighs 9 or 10 pounds.
2) One litter brother weighs 6 pounds.
3) Another litter brother weighs 5 pounds.
I could have registered my pup - but since he is a pet and I am not going to breed or show him, I choose not to register him.
I could care less about any DNA testing......and wouldn't have paid a penny more for that information.
Good luck! Carol Jean |
