Well with me, since Slade is a rescue it is a bit different. I was told by the person that rescued the mom that the mom was 6 lbs and the dog they believed to be the father was 3.5 lbs so Slade would not be bigger than 5 lbs. He is almost 6 lbs now at 10 months. His growing has slowed down, so I imagine he'll get to about 7 lbs. If he got up to 14 or 15, I wouldn't love him any less, but I would be a little mad. If I had wanted a mixed breed dog of that size I could have gotten one from the shelter for $30, rather than going the rescue route which was a bit more expensive.
I do want to get a purebred yorkie within a few years. I don't want a super tiny, but within the standard would be nice. |
