My parents have a small framed-yorkie (short legs, short body) and he is 7lbs...he is overweight and should probably weight more like 5.5lbs. He is a very small dog...just has a round little belly. Lacy is also 7lbs but looks larger than my parents yorkie because she has a longer body and longer legs...she is just at a healthy weight. So they weigh about the same but my dog is really the larger one.
Also, your dog is not going to stay 3.5lbs if she is only 4 months old. She still has quite a bit of growing to do and will probably be 5-6lbs full grown. Still a very small dog. |
Said well!...I was going to burst her bubble also, at 4 months old her pup is probably not growing yet.....Mine is 5lbs. and every time I look at him I think he is so tiny, I'm so glad he's not smaller....My word, he's smaller than most new born babies...maybe you should throw away the scale, what you don't know wont bother you
