You can talk to her.. He is a pretty big boy.
Did she guarantee the size??
A breeder can only estimate a size.

Somewhere down in the lines there were some big Yorkies.
And if her pups are mainly in the 5-7 lb range then he was a throw back.
She does need to be aware that her line did produce an overly large pup.

I know you wished he was smaller..and you didn't get what you thought you were paying for....So.. hopefully she will help you out.

Some people get upset when the dog turns out to be larger then expected (feel they got ripped off) and other are happy when the dog turns out to be smaller then expected (feel they got a great deal).

But.. lets say he was suppose to be 7lbs and turned out to be a 2 or 3 lb'er. It would not be right for a breeder to come back and say...I want more money because the dog turned out smaller.

A case in point ..a friend of mine who sells her pups at a set price..
which are normally in the 5-6 lb range but one of the pup she sold turned out to be 2.3 lbs at 8 month old....The woman got a great deal.

But.. any ways it never hurts to ask.. if she is a good breeder she will work with you...good luck to you..
