Aww, he is so adorable!! Congrats on your new furbaby!!

If he is already 3lbs, his chances of only being 4lbs are very slim. I would guess he will probably be around 8lbs.
As for the breeder they might be telling the truth. I had my first big puppy my last litter. Prior to that I never had a pup grow to be more than 5lbs but he grew to be 10lbs, he was the only one ever to do so.

As for his ears like other mentioned if you shave them and tape them they might stand, it all depends on how heavy/thick his ears are. I heard massaging them on a daily basis helps some too.

Awee I really hope he stays within the standard! Because he may be 3.5 at 3 months so that'd be 7

i know the doubling method isnt always exact though, wee will see. either way I don't think he'll be a very tall yorkie with his stumpy legs lol and wow I didn't know that! I did see another pup though when I picked up Totoro, she was almost the same size as him so I wonder

I sorta want his ears to stay floppy so I'm not gonna tamper with them

lol

What a cutie! Blue is cottony and he does get matted if not brushed every day. I am letting his coat to grow long so brushing every day is a must.

Congratulations on your new pup!

He's adorable!! He looks like he will have a cotton coat. At 10 weeks old, he still has a LOT of time for his ears to stand. I would suggest trimming the hair at the top of his ears to give them a better chance, but he's cute either way!
