Breed standard says must not exceed 7 pounds .... so your 3.5 lb little guy is within the breed's weight standard.

I am not sure where the 4-7 pound thing came from. The YTCA site does say "many breeders prefer a general weight range of 4-7 four pounds." But that is not a restriction to the standard.

I think 3.5 lbs is a very nice size, especially for a male.
