Floppy ears, heavy weight - pure Yorkie??

My Yorkie is unusually large and his ears don't stand according to standards. My breeder gave me AKC papers saying he is purebred. His mother weighs 6 pounds and his father 5 pounds. My Boomer just turned 5 months and he already weighs 7.5 pounds!! Also his ears have never stood up. I had a third of the hair on his ears clipped by the groomer, but they still don't stand. However they constantly fold all the way back.
This makes me question if he's purebred. I absolutely love him regardless - but are these traits normal?
Concerned new mommy!!

they're all cutieshe definitly looks pure yorkie, my first boy was a larger yorkie and was a perfect gentleman who'd happily do anything i asked of him. we used to go on long bike rides, bo running alongside until he got tired when he'd ride on my back until ready to go again. enjoy your boy, he looks lovely. | |
