| 14 pounds is NOT a BIG dog, yes, bigger then a 5 pounder, but still a small dog. Please do not let the weight scare you, your pup will still be small just not as small as a wee lil 5 pounder.

| It’s really not that big. If one of the parents was 8 pounds they could have had larger genes which could throw a bigger pup. Still a small dog.

| It's possible that the breeder lied but I just recently talked to someone who bred their dog, she is 1.6 kgs and father is 2.0 kgs. There was only one puppy born and puppy is already over 2 kgs at 15 weeks. Both parents' parents, grandparents and greatgrandparents were tiny so throwbacks to many generations back is possible albeit rare. |

This female weighed 1.60 KGS = a bit over 3 1/2 pounds, male weighed 2.0 KGS=4 1/2 pounds 1-Now a pound may not mean much to us, as humans, but when breeding toy breeds and using a female only weighing 3 1/2 pounds makes a big difference and possible reason only one puppy was produced, that breeder is lucky she did not lose her female with that one big puppy. 2- It is not safe breeding a female under 5 pounds or 2.268 KGS.

| One can only hope that the future brings less focus on purity and more of a focus on the well-being of the dogs. No more docking. No more breeding smaller and smaller regardless on the health impacts. Quote:

| Yes 14lbs is not actually big just larger than I wanted. I took him to another vet who informed me he most likely will be no less than 15lbs. My other Yorkie was 2lbs at 2months and ended to be 9lbs. I received another Yorkie and this time seen the parents and this one won’t be large. Thanks for the help! |

I hated apartment hunting worse than almost anything! And moving was awful, so much work.
