Talk to your breeder about the size. I've had several pups that weighed 6 oz. at birth, 2 lbs. at 8 weeks and reached 4 to 4 1/2 lbs. at maturity. Not all lines develop the same. The triple at 8 weeks and double at 12 wks. is an average guideline only. If you had a responsible breeder, she'll take her back in a heartbeat if you're unhappy. If not, and she was just in it for the money only, then you and Zoe both have a problem. But, talk to her about your concerns first, okay? Good luck to you both.

Well its been exactly one week since i got her and i feel horrible about this, but i feel like i want to give her back to the breeder for my money back (if that is even possible). I was told she was going to be very small as she was 6 ounces at 5 weeks old and am dissapointed in her large size. I do understand that i would grow to love her, but as i have only had her with me for a week i am not attached yet. I really had my heart set on a teeny tiny baby...

what should i do?...or what do you think i can do?

My Sadie was 2 lbs at 8 weeks...she is now just about 6 lbs. I don't feel this is a big dog...matter of fact I think she's small...Sadie is my first Yorkie I read all I could before I invested in this breed and, then found this site....I have learned so much from everyone here... I have seen yorkies that have a better coat than Sadie, shorter legs, shorter body and she has a slight roach back...I love her with all of my heart...I fell in love when I first saw her at 5 weeks old. My brother asked me if someone offered me $1,000.000.00 for her if I would sell her...I told him not on my life! I have read many weight question posts on here and if you go back and read some of them you may be surprised...some of the furbabies that seem to be "big" when they are weeks old didn't gain that much more weight as adults...of course some did but, you can never tell...just like humans...If it were me??? I wouldn't get rid of her but, if you are going to be upset because she isn't a "purse puppy" I would rehome her...you don't want the dog to suffer because of her size.

Now it's all coming back again, thanks LOL
She is a doll baby, give her tons of hugs & kisses from us!

I have a 10 pounder and a puppy that should be around 5 lbs. My daughter likes our bigger girl better because she's more meaty and not so delicate. My big girl's parents were 5 & 9 pounds so I didn't know if I would get the larger or smaller size. Also she was the last to go out of the litter so I had nothing to compare with, but 3 or 13 pounds doesn't matter when you see how much unconditional love these babies give. The main concern I have is if your puppy's size is this much of an issue then it would probably be best for the puppy to have a differant home, especially if you haven't bonded already.

Jaxon's mom · 01-05-2007, 02:59 PM

Have you considered the potential health issues you could face with a dog that weighs 3lbs fully grown?? I'm surprised you haven't already fallen head over heels for your new baby. I was attached to mine the minute I saw him and wouldn't change one single thing about him!

I sort of doubt the breeder will take the puppy back. Heck, I'll buy her from you!!

Abigail does this allllllllll the time! She picks a toy that's 1/2 her size, then shakes the stuffing out of it. I sometimes worry about her little neck; but, she just LOVES feeling like a big dawg. Whattayado? <shrug>

some of you are very rude and i don't care if you have a strong opinion or not some of these posts are very uncalled for and you should be ashamed of yourselves for posting them.

She has come here for help and advise not to be bashed and abused!! So she wants a tiny Yorkie that is her right to want one and if she isn't satisfied with the one she has then she has every right to return it!! It its her money not yours. I am disgusted with the self riotous posters these days who are you to judge anyone??

Yes your opinion is welcomed but there is a tactful way to go about it!! ever heard the phrase if you don't have anything nice to say?? I know everyone here is passionate about the breed and a lot have great advise to offer but if you want to be down right ignorant to people go somewhere else! These people come for help post a couple times and get slammed for asking anything and then they never come back!! Stop forcing your views and values on everyone else this is a public forum and yes WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS!!!! But some of you do it with tact and i really thank the people who tried to help her

I agree, people should keep serious matters serious and if they have nothing better to do with their lives than to post replies that are not serious and make fun of people and insult them...well, I feel sorry for them

You're worried about me being rude and insulting? Um, atleast I LOVE the dog I got! When I first took him to the vet the vet said maybe 10lbs! I didn't care about size..I still wanted him! Also, he was cryptorchid, which costs a lot more than a general nueter. His previous owner looked at me and thought I wasn't going to get him...guess what, I DIDN'T care! I still loved him and nothing about his physical being was going to change that, even with money being an issue. I dont undertsand that you "love" this dog, but want to get rid of her because of her size? Do you even know what love is? Obviously not.

And I'm not sorry, but your going to get no sympathy from me. Like it's already been posted, it's because of buyers like you that make breeders breed for the smallest, and then us who really do care about the yorkie itself and not just the size gotta suffer with making it harder for us to find a reputable breeder, not to mention the yorkies that are suffering because of this. I don't feel bad for you one bit. Do you honestly think anyone who cares about dogs would feel bad for you? If your looking for sympathy, you came to the wrong place.

And you really can't get on me for being rude or insulting, because look at how mean you are being to even think of getting rid of a baby because you think she's not going to be a tiny. For you to call me "rude and insulting" it's the pot calling the kettle black.

Ayorkielover · 01-05-2007, 03:42 PM

how did you get her name to show up with her picture I want gracie's name on hers???

alisonJ · 01-05-2007, 03:43 PM

If you really don't want her, my sister, who lives near you, will come pick her up tomorrow. I will fly out to VA and pick her up in a week or two. This is not a joke. We would give Zoe a lovely home. Think about it.

Villette,Red98vett made that for her

I agree if you're not going to be happy with her then give her back. If you're hung up on size then get the small one that you desire.

But I just wonder if the small one turns out to have problems, be hard or impossible to house break. have the wrong kind of hair, be nervous and shakey be roach backed, have big ears, and so on, are you going to dislike her also.

Maybe it is your personality to want perfection and you will never be happy because nothing is perfect.
