I have seen the yorkie growth chart (which says she should be 6 lbs fully grown) but the breeder said since she was so tiny at birth and even at 5 weeks that she should end up around 4 lbs. If anyone is able to help me figure out a general idea of how big she would be it would be much appreciated!
The breeder let you take her at 7 weeks? I thought 12 weeks was standard. I think she knew this was not going to be a "small" Yorkie. There are so many traits other than size that are desirable.
