There nothing wrong in wanting a Yrokie of a certain size. No breeder can estimate to the oz, but most with experince can give a very accurate guess at 12 to 16 weeks. Common sense will tell you if the pup is 3 pounds at 12 weeks, it will not be a 4 pounder.
Why not have the breeder weigh this 14 week old and post the weight. Not seeing the frame is a disadvantage, but if it is not more then 2 pounds you should be fine. Frame is more important then actual weight. A 4 pound frame can carry 6 fat pounds and not look at all like a real 6 pound framed Yorkie.

We are very passionate about Yorkies on this forum..be patient with us, please.
