I do not want to try and tell anyone even a guess but I kinda felt pressured into it... Marco weighs 2lbs at 7wks old so I was only going by the chart... He is also all belly because he eats ALOT... I have an approved home for Polo and possibly Addie and have told them both that I can give them a more accurate guess when the pups are about 10 wks... They are not leaving here until 12 wks so if they hit a sudden growth spurt and the new owners are not happy, then I will refund their deposit as I do not want them to be unhappy with one of my babies and rehome them later.. As far as the tiny pup thing, I can understand 4-6lbs but people wanting 2-3lb dogs on purpose just seem like they want attention. I understand if your dog just doesn't get bigger, but to email and say how big will they be, I am looking for one under 3lbs. that is just crazy.. And maybe I would want one to carry everywhere with me if I didn't already have 3 skin children attached to my hip!!

Rule of thumb...triple the weights at 8 weeks...and doubling it at 12 is usually a more accurate guess.
