Sebastien 11 months Options

[CarlyBaby]

This is a photo that I took at home of Sebastien when he was 11 1/2 months old.He is now a year and a week old.The photo is a tad over exposed.I am new to the show world and looking for feedback or comments on what you think of him.
I've shown him 3 times and have been told that he's nice and moves very well.His only detriment is his size.He is a just under 4lbs,I'm sure he'll make 4 1/2 lbs by the time he's 18 months old...he has alot of filling out to do.

Its a lot easier to finish a small boy than a small girl. He has a beautiful head and a deep rich blue coat.

Do you think you can get us a video of the littel guy in action? Movement is so important. With the little ones, it is helpful if they are good movers.

He's a very pretty boy! Honestly, I would be very happy with a boy that size at that age. It should not enter into the equation. He'll mature to at least 5 lbs. I know they mature at different ages in different lines, but I think most breeders would be surprised if they weighed their 4-lb yearlings when they turned 3 years old, especially the boys. Ours have continued to "body out" or gain bone and muscle until they're 3. Most show breeders I've spoken with are shooting for a 5-6 lb individual, but will show a smaller or larger one if it has other exceptional qualities. Size is just one trait. He really looks to have enough frame size to hold 5- 5-1/2 lbs.

Best of luck with Sebastien.

You have given me hope that he will fill out a fair bit.I'm sure he will as I can still feel his back bone and hips....too funny ! His sister Beatrice just turned 2 last month and I can see and feel a big difference in her.She was like that a year ago when I really think about it.Sebastien is taller than her by a fair bit and they weigh almost the same,he is a little heavier than her.
Here is a photo of the 2 of them together taken a week and a half ago.

Agree - given him some time. You may want to put him in the ring for a bit, then pull him and allow him to grow into himself (long coats are also helpful with yorkies!).

Here is a recent photo I took Of Sebastien,he is 14 1/2 months old.I think he is really looking good.He is right at 4 lbs,maybe an ounce or 2 more

He's looking great! Nice and square and his blue is nice, dark without any gold.

Thank-you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'm optimistic !
