He's doing fine right now, but the vet gave him no more than a year and it was devestating. My 13 year old son took it very hard as we all did. I started inquiring through various breeders reccomended here on YT and ended up finding and falling in love with a little one right in our neighborhood. Her mom was smaller then I thought a female should be bred. She was small and looked to be about four pounds. The father is about the same, so I'm thinking according to the chart and the parents that she shouldn't hit more then five or six pounds. The vet didn't think she'd hit six but you really can't tell. She seems to have long legs, but then again she was the runt and kind of scrawny so she just may look tall. Thanks again and I'll post some pictures soon. She's tuckered out right now. LOL. On an ending note, I do wish that the woman that had her kept her longer and not sold her at 9 weeks as I think she could have stood staying with the mother longer. Mom seemed so sad when I took her baby and baby seems to miss his brothers and mom. Elaine |
Awwwww this made me tear up a little
My Calliope has long legs too - we call her Super Model when she stretches out...looks like she's showing off hee hee
Cali and her Mama kissed each other when we seperated them. Cali had big tears in her eyes. The breeder and I started crying at that point too! It's sad. Glad you got a new dog before Newman got too ill. I did that with my kids as well. Their old dog wasn't doing so well and I figured it would help - it did!
Hang in there and we'll keep our eyes peeled for photos!!
BIG HUGS TO YOU!
