I'm not sure how tiny of a dog you wanted, but remember if they are too tiny they tend to have many problems. Also, you may have had in your mind an ideal weight of like 3 lbs, but believe me 6/7 lbs is not all that big. To give you an idea, most cats are 10 to 15 lbs.

I agree you should report him as he promised you something he couldn't necessarily guarantee. The closest guarantee is the parents weight, but even then that doesn't always prove anything. I have a friend who's Yorkie is 11 pounds, her parents were 5 and 6 lbs... she got the growth gene LOL

To be honest I would say, wait and see... you're little one may just surprise you and be the tiny dog you wanted.

I looked for almost 6 years for a yorkie...all i ever found was backyard breeders and puppy mills. i REFUSED to buy one from them. i wanted a pup that was bred and raised in a home with a family. not in a cage...so that is what i got. period. if I had bought one of the puppy's at the flea market, or at the many many puppy mills and byb's that i visited, i would have no right to complain if the puppy didn't turn out to be what i was hoping for.

You could get your money back, or trade him for a smaller pup, but atleast according to you vet he's healthy. Do you love him already? If you do I'd keep him, and he'll love you in return. What's size anyway. What matters is whats inside.

His pictures are precious! He looks so sweet and innocent. I hope you can fall in love with him...after all, he's the innocent party in this and just needs someone to cherish him and give him a wonderful life. These babies give back ten-fold what you give to them. Good luck!

As hard as something is to do, the best thing to have done in that situation with all the questionable things the guy said to you is walk away without the puppy and find a reputable breeder that you trust. But you didnt, and you say you have a beautiful healthy happy baby boy... so at this point I would just love him to pieces and watch him grow up to be a beautiful healthy happy little man!! :)

Good Luck!!

But if you don't feel that you can love him and treat him as you should because he's not what you wanted, by all means, allow someone else to give him a good life and love him regardless of his weight.

I would never treat my dog badly because he was big, but I couldn't do as many things as I want with him. I couldn't take him everywhere like I wanted to and I'm not home that much. I wanted a tiny dog so I could take him everywhere with me. I also resent the fact that I didn't get what I wanted.
