I am so happy you are keeping him. I guarantee you won't regret it. I know it is disappointing to not get what you were expecting and paid for. Cali was 1 lb at 10 weeks and is now 5lbs from a backyard breeder. She was so sick her first year and cost a fortune in vet bills and heartache. I was told she would be 3 lbs and that's what I paid for but I love her so much and 5 lbs is tiny. When I decided to get another one I wanted to know exactly what I was getting so I contatced a very reputable show breeder who happened to have a 3lb female that was 13 months old. I went to see her and brought her home. She is exactly what I wanted. The one draw back to these tinies is that when they do get sick you can't take chances and they need to go to the vet. Pixie has been healthy but a bout of vomiting just cost me 360.00 at the er vet, where with my bigger dogs I usually ride it out a day or so.
Your puppy is adorable and looks fine boned so he may surprise you and stay pretty small. I also have had 6 and 7 lb yorkies and they did not seem much bigger than my 5 lb one.
I can tell by your later posts that he winning you over already!!! |
