Nobody, not even a vet, can truly guess the weight a puppy will be all grown up. Initially my vet estimated my Eury was going to be 6 to 7 lbs, and since then the estimate has changed a few times. Her current estimate is 3 to 4 lbs (based on the fact that she is almost 5 months and about 2 lbs.)
I'm not sure how tiny of a dog you wanted, but remember if they are too tiny they tend to have many problems. Also, you may have had in your mind an ideal weight of like 3 lbs, but believe me 6/7 lbs is not all that big. To give you an idea, most cats are 10 to 15 lbs.
I agree you should report him as he promised you something he couldn't necessarily guarantee. The closest guarantee is the parents weight, but even then that doesn't always prove anything. I have a friend who's Yorkie is 11 pounds, her parents were 5 and 6 lbs... she got the growth gene LOL
To be honest I would say, wait and see... you're little one may just surprise you and be the tiny dog you wanted. |
