I'm not big into size, but this last time when I went looking for my yorkie, who will be the last addition to my family for many many years, I knew what I was looking for. I wanted a full grown yorkie around 4 lbs, which is basically what it seems I am getting (unless she has a major growth spurt). She is at 3.8 now at 8.5 months and hasn't gained more than a few .oz in the past 3 months.
I feel like it's ok to want the size dog you want, as long as you are not purely buying from someone based on size. You also need to check out the lines of the parents, the breeder, ect -- then go from there and be prepared to wait for the dog you want.
I think a lot of times people want one right now, so they rush into it hoping their dog will be all that they dreamed of, then find that's not the reality. |
