I think I just bought a puppy mill Pup :(

[lisatodd]

ohhh no. i am so sorry this happened to you but nice to see he was on the puppymill site.

[Lexi Rae]

as she is a whopping 10 lbs of love

I have to tell you that in my search, I too wanted 'tinies'.
At 13 weeks TJ was 1.8 lbs
At 6 months Roxy was 2.5 lbs

Now TJ is 2.5 years old and weighs aprrox. 6.8 to 7 lbs
Roxy is a little over 2.5 years old and weighs 5 lbs

They are BOTH the perfect size for me! They are still small, but big enough that I don't fear for their lives. If I ever have children, they are a good size for children to learn to be gentle and careful.

Again, the 'tinies' are cute as a button, my I THANK GOD EVERYDAY, that my two actuallt grew (hahahaha)

Best of Luck!

P.S. Even a 8 to 10 lbs Yorkie is still small

Sorry you didn't get what you had hoped for.. but wow, that's really sad that you want to get rid of "it" (as you put it), because you believe it is going to be a whopping 7 or 8 pounds- which isn't even that big. Sometimes 7 or 8 lb dogs don't even look any bigger than my 4 and 5 lbers.

I am glad I get to compare Wicket with your Roxy. I didn't want a real small yorkie I was hoping for 6 to 7 lbs, or maybe a little larger, we have 2 labs and a jack russell terrier, I was afraid he wouldn't make 5lbs. I feel better thanks,

I'v heard the rule of thumb is double the weight at 12 weeks and that is their weight full grown (supposably)

that means u kinda fell into the trap and got caught. He swindles you out of your money, Yes u saved on dog, but funded him to breed 10 more to sell.

If you look at the link to the chart I posted, that is how it works out as well. I just like the fact that the chart covers every single week.


According to the chart posted, mine should be a little over 4 pounds. I did see her parents and they were very small - 3 pounds and 5 pounds.

I know others say the chart isn't accurate, but who knows.

Oh, yes I have that chart but I found it to be a little more accurate to double the weight at 12 weeks, but like you said "who knows", lol

[TLC]

It really is a 'who knows' type of thing...

Look TJ was 1.8 at 13 weeks - So, if I doubled that...3.6 lbs - Yeah Right

Try 1.8 x 4 = 7.2 lbs.

It really all depends. TJ is muscular. He could lose a tiny bit, I think he is good at 6.3 or 6.5

[littlewhip]

Iam sorry you feel like you were decieved but if you love and bonded with this pup already and if he is healthy, why not keep him, all 4 of my furkids are different weight, smallest is at 1.5 to almost 8pds of pure yorkie love can we see pics of your new addition oh and welcome to yt

The chart does say that doubling the weight at 12 weeks yeilds the final weight so I am not sure how it is more accurate since it says exactly what you are saying.

The chart goes beyond that and gives you a weekly breakdown as well which is helpful if you are past the 12th week or before the 12th week.

How big were the parents?

[TinyBit]

Size does not determine if you can love the puppy.
I bought mine here on YT and with the chart he'll be about 6 lbs. But I was told mom was 5 and dad was 4. So I'll wait and see.
If he ends up being 4#-Ok
If he ends up being 5#-OK
What if he's 6# - oh no!!!! Too Late...I already love him -
HE STAYS WITH ME FOREVER

[Graleyne]

I have to agree. I was told Susanah would be 5 - 6 pounds and according to the chart she will be. But I would still love her just as much whether she weighs 4 pounds or 40 pounds! She is still my Susanah Banana Poopanut!
