| Question?! U was just wondering... I took Romeo to the vet last week. He was going on 10 weeks old, currently he is almost 11 weeks old.... He weighs 2.2 pounds.....is he going to be a monster or is that normal size? I'll love him either way...I was just curious!! Thanks everyone. |

| In one week (12 weeks) they say you can double the weight and that gives you an estimate of what they could weigh. Yours is slightly smaller than mine and his estimate from the breeder was less than 5 lbs. I think the way he is growing he will be closer to 6lbs though.

| Did you get to see Romeos parents..? Genetics play a huge role in the size of your pup. But I would say he's average size for his age.

| Yes I met Romeo's Parents. His mom weighed about 5 lbs and his dad weighed about 4lbs The breeder told my husband that he wouldnt be over 4lbs Im beginning to think this might be a bunch of bologna. But no matter what his size I will love him!!!!!! |

| New Years babies for sure!!!! Where did you buy Romeo? Are you teaching him tricks Yet? Chachi has just started to respond very well this week. We are training him by offering him a tiny piece of ham. He is sitting, he respond to his name, fetching and we are working on laying down.

| How cute!!! Pottytraining for us is a rollercoaster of ups and downs. One time he goes in the right place the next he doesn't. I think Chachi's just a little stubborn. It seems like the older he gets the more he is comprehending so hopefully he will get it soon. I hope your Romeo gets potty trained too also!!!

| Yea, I brush his teeth but it's not a pretty thing. He fights me terribly! I got mine at petco. It was a set that has a regular brush, a plastic finger tip brush, and the poultry flavored toothpaste. I have been using the reqular brush but I am going to start using the finger applicator since I am having so many problems. I just wanna keep his teeth clean. Some of the posts I've read concerning their teeth scares the dickens out of me.
