| Size Difference Question in Litter Mates To preface: we’ve sent DNA for analysis so the question of parentage will be answered. What should the expected size difference be in sweet little doggies with the same ma and paw? My supposed litter mate boys have a size differential that leads we owners and our veterinarian to suspect that we were ripped off. One is 3 pounds of pure Yorkie attitude and the other is a whopping 12 pounder that resembles my beloved, dopey childhood Schnauzer. This breeder was recommended to me by our previous breeder so it’s not like I picked her out of a phone book. I was told she was ethical at the time my former breeder had dealings with her…… When I finally made contact with the woman for our promised AKC papers (four months of avoided phone calls and I told her I was prepared to send my rep to her doorstep)…. I was informed that, golly gee willikers after reviewing her records she realized she hadn’t register the litter after all. Of course she could not explain to me why she stated she had done so and would be forwarding the papers upon arrival. (There were multiple witnesses.) Also told me the only reason to have papers is so the owner can name them. Uhhhhhh? WHAT? I want the papers because you advertised AKC puppies you silly woman. That might be fraud. I’ve contacted the AKC and the AG’s office and will be pursuing restitution. The nice AKC lady I spoke with said that there has been a rather large uptick in FRAUD since the Corona Virus Pandemic. Just a reminder to be vigilant. I never thought I’d fall prey to a fraudster. Last edited by MiaLove; 12-01-2021 at 06:43 AM. |

| My 3 year old Chocolate yorkie is 16 pounds and at 4 months out weighed all his littler mates and parents so it is very possible to have a larger yorkie in a litter. He is also AKC registered. One thing I have learned is get the papers with the puppy or more then likely there aren’t any. One thing you also want to look into so you can try to avoid it is sibling syndrome.

| Thank you so much for your reply. It’s unfortunate this woman was not truthful and said the litter was registered. She gave me a whole song and dance about her fabulous line and how she would keep them until 14 weeks to be sure the tiny one was healthy but we got a call at about 6 weeks saying we needed to get them in 2 weeks. She also raised the price after we paid out deposit and when I questioned her she said that because the smaller one was going to be so tiny she could get more money for him and had two people lined up who wanted him. I should have gotten my deposit back and walked away at that point but we were heartbroken over the unexpected loss of our previous sweet Yorkie. This woman saw SUCKER written all over the tears on my face. She half way admitted the name of the sire on my contract is not accurate when she told me that “occasionally you have to put new genes in the line”. So the contract can say one thing but she “put new genes in the line.” Interesting, no? She also claimed my vet would “vouch for her”. He’s never heard of her… And, what is sibling syndrome? Again, thank you so much for your reply. Last edited by MiaLove; 12-02-2021 at 07:24 AM. |

| DNA: Big guy: 43.1% Biewer Terrier, 42.5% Yorkshire, 14.4% Maltese Little guy: 79.3% Yorkshire and 20.7% Maltese Big guys back at vet today having more teeth pulled (5 so far) and little guy has about 6 that need to come out, he looks like a shark. LOL And thank you for the link! They are suuuuuper loving and don’t seem to be showing any I’ll effects socially. They LOVE people and are quite the hit when we take them out and about because of their GINORMOUS size difference. We love them very much!!!! I’m just sick to death about the liars wandering the planet. I let the referring breeder know as well….. She will not be recommending her any longer. Thank you so much for your help! |
