Puppy not what the breeder said

Hi
I love my little girl, but I think the "breeder" lied to us and is fraudulent.
He told us she was not going to be over 4-5 pounds
She is now 8.6
She is about 12 inches long (shoulder to rear and 12 inches high)
This seems so much taller and longer than the "typical" yorkie, let alone what he told us we were purchasing
He is not responding to my emails.
We also found out that he sells 2 other breeds besides yorkies
Not sure what to do
He is listed in the Buffalo area

I found him originally at a different sight listed as selling tiny yorkies.

I copied this from Wikpedia...my yorkie is 9 lbs and probably about as long as yours also. Teacup is really not a breed, it is a small dog from the little that should never be used for breeding trying to get a smaller dog. Build and proportions The Yorkshire Terrier head should be rather flat and so small.[9] The teeth should have either a "scissors bite" or a "level bite" (no underbite or overbite).[1] The Yorkie's dark eyes are not too prominent, but should be sparkling, with sharp intelligent expression, and placed to look directly forward.[3] The small, V-shaped ears are set high on the head, not too far apart, and should be carried erect.[2] In some kennel clubs, ears that do not stand up are cause for automatic disqualification.[9]The breed standard dictates that a Yorkshire Terrier must weigh no more than twenty three pounds for the AKC show ring.[3] A Yorkshire Terrier of this weight is typically between 20 and 50 inches tall. There is no distinction made in the standard between Yorkies of various sizes (i.e. there is no "teacup" or "standard" within the breed standard). The compact body of a Yorkie is well proportioned with a level back that is the same height at the base of the neck than at the base of the tail.[3] The tail is carried slightly higher than the level of the back.[10] In a standing position, the Yorkie's front legs should be straight. The back legs should be straight when viewed from behind, but moderately bent when viewed from the side.[9] | |

HI, there- It is true toy yorkie or miniature yorkie does not exist, in the dogs papers you will see that it says yorkshire terrier. The toy and the miniature are consecuences of people breeding until getting a small yorkie. Eventhough it happens sometimes without trying. From one litter you can have all kinds of size yorkies. You have to remember that initial the yorkshire terrier was a hunting dog that weighed 20 pounds. So, sometimes it has to do with the ancestors. I have two yorkies, but one is currently with my son grandmother(dad side) I bought her from two parents that weighed 5 and 6 pounds and Mia weighs almost ten pounds. So donŽt worry to much this thing happens. IŽll tell you more from MIa litter there were 3 female dogs and Mia weigh almost 10, the other one weighs a little more and one weighs about 3 pounds so imagine. | |
