I do understand your point, however, I posted a thread like this a couple days ago...and that was NOT my purpose at all. The little boy I have a deposit on isn't growing as much as I would like him to grow, and I really DON'T want one that tiny. I asked what others opinions were on how accurate the weight chart is...because I wondered if there was any chance he'd grow past the 2 lb mark he's headed for now. I had already considered switching my deposit to his bigger brother, and I wanted some advice from some who had the little ones about how they grew. I do not have any desire to search for only a teeny tiny puppy who can ride around in my pocket or purse all the time. Although, I think that if someone wants to buy them that small, and they've done their research and are fully aware of what they're getting themselves into, it's their business. Personally, I would rather have them no smaller than 4 lbs full grown. That's probably what Sophie is going to be...BUT even still, I wasn't looking for a smaller one when I found her. I had no size in particular in mind...I was looking for quality and a reputable breeder...and I fell in love with that puppy, and was completely impressed with her breeder. Now I have 2 other adult girls from the breeder (including Sophie's mom), and they are both much bigger than my first two girls...but I love them all the same.
So, to answer your question, no, it's not all about size for me. I have done oodles of research, but it still never hurts to get advice from someone who has knowledge on that subject...even if you think you know everything there is to know about it. You can never have too much knowledge. |
