| maltese breeders/owners if any of you breed malteses, i was talking to a breeder, and she just had a litter of maltese puppies, and we're looking for a little girl (maltese or yorkie). i wante a smaller one, but by that i meant 4-5lb. this onewas 2oz at birth. she had a rough start, but she's fine now. how big do you think she'll get. i'd be scared to have one that little with my teapot yorkie, i wouldn't want her to hurt the little.

| 2 oz is really small. But maybe since she had a rough start, she will get better now and grow. Good luck to you! Maltese are a great breed!! Join us at maltesetalk.com! (yt's sister site) |

| Yes, please join us at www.maltesetalk.com...You can get more info on maltese over there. I have an 11lb yorkie and a just under 4lb maltese, and they get along great. My yorkie isn't rough with her at all. I guess it depends on your yorkie's activity level. How big is your yorkie? Congratulations on getting another furbaby though

| I have a yorkie (Hannah) that is 4 lbs and she is 9 months old and I have a maltese (Bentley) that is already over 6 lbs and he is 5 months old. I was concerned about the size he would get to be when I bought him because I didn't want Hannah to get hurt, but the breeder told me that he should be around 5 lbs (I know that you can never really know). I know that he is going to grow a lot more too, but he and Hannah are great together. If anything I need to worry about her hurting him. He is soooo sweet and she is so rough with him. Good luck finding a new baby. |

| it's not that i don't feel that shes not the right one, i'm just scared that if we do get her, she might get hurt if she's that little. i'm hoping that what the others said about her growing bigger than what the charts say bc she had a rough start is true, she's really adorable.

| I know it's a tough decision!! Just go with your heart. I know what you mean about worrying about a little one...I didn't realize how small Emma was until I picked her up, and I was so worried about her size. But as soon as she opened up, she actually became the bully in my house. LOL She pushes my 11lb yorkie around. Haha! We have doggie stairs at the couch and at the bed so that she doesn't jump off of anything. She learned really quickly how to use them, and she will not jump off the couch or the bed...only the stairs If you want to ensure a certain size though, I would wait until they are a little bit older to actually choose. Will she let you pick when they're closer to six or eight weeks so you can see their personalities and size?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | When I got Cali she was 1 lb and the runt of the litter and expected to be 3lbs or so. She ended up at 5 1/2 lbs and I have a 12 lb Pom and she was fine. Pixie is 3 lbs and also does fine with my Pom.
