Doubting myself... 1 Attachment(s) Hello all! I'm new here to the forum. I have attached a file to my puppy which I did not name yet. But I just keep thinking to myself that maybe my puppy isn't purebred but I seen the parents on site and he is akc register. The reason I feel that way is because he so big for a 12 week old weight at 5lb. The breeder said he is overweight because he likes his puppy to eat good. I have no dought he is over weight. He is bigger than my 1year old maltese who weigh 4 lb. isn't maltese and yorkie somewhat similar? The puppy have such big paws. Could all this be because the breeder over feed him so he is over grown for his age? Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks! Kim |

He is a cute, chunkie monkey! I can see his roly, poly tummy! :) |
Hi Kim!! Welcome to YT. Hmm well he is a little cutie that is for sure! He looks pure- LOL He does look a little chunky monkey.. but in a super adorable way. He might just be a bigger Yorkie. I don’t think he is going to be big because he is eating too much- if you say his paws are big, the chances of him being bigger are high. |

he looks purbreed to me.....from what ive read on other threads size can vary greatly with yorkies...so you might be able to be part of the teapot club when hes full grown but that certainly doenst make him not purebreed. |
He is totally adorable! We have a few yorkies in forums that are chunky :smile: |
He is adorable. Just remember the tiny yorkies can have lots of health problems. There are yourkies on this forum that are 15 lbs. Lots to love. |
Thanks all for your input. My kids are attached to him already, just got him yesterday. I wanted to be fair to both dogs by taking him everywhere with us. Meaning my maltese goes everywhere in his little purse. But with him looks like I will need a suitcase just to hide him LOL. j/k |
I love this ChunkieMonkie monaker! He is absolutely adorable, really he is. Big paws for sure, but tell me you absolutely can't help but love the heck out of him? he is too cute!:):) |
He looks all Yorkie to me! Welcome to the forum :) Who taped his ears? I don't really think that it's necessary with his young age, is why I ask. Yorkies come in all sizes - in the origins, they used to be larger than they are now days. The great thing is that the larger ones have fewer health issues. Feeding has nothing to do with his size. Please feed him when he is hungry (there is no such thing as overfeeding a puppy, ok?). Great to have you both here! :) |

Oh I did :confused: The breeder told me to go ahead and start while they are young. Is that not right? He has such big floppy ears. |
He's adorable! It looks like his facial hair has been cut? ( Maybe whoever did that gave up before they trimmed his feet.) I have a big tall beautiful long legged blonde named Bella & a rough tough boy named Tuffy. Both over standard but very loved! |
