Default Hi again.

Hi again MnMs mommy. I can totally understand what you are saying about thinking you'll get a five pound dog and end up with bigger. The thing is that it's very hard to actually predict the ending size your pup will be as an adult. You may be better looking for an older pup like around a year old. I got Tia at 10 months and she was underweight at 3 lbs. but I also knew that she wasn't going to grow too much longer. At a year she's 4 lbs. Again, I didn't plan on getting a girl this small but fell in love with her and she needed a home. I did like you however want one within standard between five and six pounds and decided that the only way to guarantee this is to go for a pup close to a year old. My other three Yorkies came to me as younger pups and they are teapots. LOL. Newman is 12 lbs. Bella 10 pounds and Noel huhhhhh 16 lbs. LOLOL. They were rescues though and I knew they were not bred well. Good Luck. Elaine
