Why not call them and ask what the poster above suggested. That's what I would do. I would explain that you were surprised at the size of the Mama dog and you're really wanting one closer to the size of the dog you already have and just see what they say. It can't hurt to try. I have to agree though that Pebbles is a cutie :) |
Im sorry for your concerns, I am also worried about the wire around the pups in the photos you showed. It looks like the squares are large enough the babies could get their little heads stuck. |
Just tell them how you feel. You have nothing to lose! Nolee is bigger than I thought he would be, but I also saw the mom and he now looks just like her. I still love him just as much!:animal36 |
I would simply tell her you are looking for a yorkie within the breed standard and you don't think the mother meets the criteria. Hopefully she will be understanding and give you back your refund. I know I wouldn't want any of my families to be unhappy. |
oh man, i hope they are understanding! I hate causing a fuss. I will call tomorrow though, after i tell my mother tonight :eek: |

Don't settle for anything less than you have been dreaming of. |
I just want to say hi , welcome to YT and good luck finding your perfect baby. |
If the baby is 1 1/4 pounds at 5 weeks, you should have known you weren't looking at a 'small' Yorkie. That being said, the pup won't be as large as the mother. They usually get their size from the father's bloodline so she may well be only about 6 pounds grown. I have bred an 8 pound mother with a 6 poiund father and the largest only grew to about the father's size, the rest being smaller with 2 'tinies' in the litter. I don't evaluate my pups for size, however, until 8 weeks old because even smaller parents can produce larger pups depending on the bloodline.:animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa :) |
CKC Registered The website says that the mother is CKC registered. I would be leary of purchasing a puppy that is CKC registered. Here are the regulations for having a dog registered with the CKC: "Dogs over 6 months of age which have no previous Registration history may be registered by providing 2 witness signatures attesting to the purebred status of the dog along with 3 photos (front,left and right) of the dog to confirm it is ‘of proper breed type’ as defined by our current CKC Registration Rules and Regulations." In other words, as long as they LOOK purebred, they can be registered. |
well, they look sweet, but probably will be a bit bigger. I know Guinness' dad was a bit bigger than I was expecting, but I am very happy with my puppy. |

she might be ok if you go by this growth chart (http://www.yorkiepassion.com/growthchart.htm), it says your puppy will be 5 lbs full grown. you said she was 1 lb 4 oz at 5 weeks old (which is 20 oz), then i'd estimate 5 lbs. she'll be bigger than you want (you said about 4 lbs), but she shouldn't be a monster size. however, the growth chart is just a reference guide. there's no guarantee it's accurate. but who knows. just thought this might help ease your worries a little. this chart is universal pretty much. if you type in "yorkie growth chart" in google, you might find a different one, but so far i've found the same one on several different sites. good luck! :) |
Did you get a chance to talk to the breeder? I'm just curious what the outcome was. Wishing you well. :) |
Did you speak with the breeder yet? I would tell her your concerns. She obviously realizes that her dog is a little bigger than the norm. |
