Miko was supposed to be under 5 pounds, and he is like 11lbs now, so I know what you mean about breeders being dishonest. When I was looking for our maltese, we wanted a slightly older pup...maybe 6months-1yr old because we had a very hard and stressful time with Miko because he was an extremely sick pup at only 1lb 2 oz at 12.5 weeks when he probably should have been a little over 2lbs...
Anyway, my point is, we looked and looked and found that there was a 7 month old female available...They sent us pictures and we fell in love with her. When we asked about her and got more info, we found out that she was only 2.9lbs! We wanted around a five lber, but she was way too cute to pass up. And we were already in love
She was exactly what we wanted. Beautiful white, white hair, silky coat, big eyes, cute little button nose. Everything we were looking for, so we got her
Don't give up on your search for your perfect baby
You'll find her.
