Unhappy

His frame is quite large and he has been growing quickly. From the looks of it I would be lucky if he is at 7 lbs when he is done growing. The vet said if I was lucky a low estimate of his weight was 6.5 lbs, but he honestly felt that he would likely be more than eight ( he gained over a lb in two weeks). He looked at his bone structure (his paws are really big, and he is longer in the legs than we expected) compared to Bridget as well and said he would likely be to big to breed her later on. I do want to show both of them and breed later if all testing comes out well. However I owe this person a pup later. She is pushing me to sell, and I am so confused. It breaks my heart to do this, but if he is over the standard there would be not point in showing or breeding him. I cannot afford to keep him and get another Yorkie for show as well. I guess I was just hoping to get advice, becasue he would be easier to sell and place as a puppy versus an oversized adult. I also have her my mentor to deal with, which she is putting presure on me to sell him. She knows later I promised a pup and I will have to find a way to give her one eventully. Just concerned and confused is all.
