Unfortunately, my boys are rather tiny. Elvis is 14 months old and weighs 4 lbs 11 oz, Wolfie is 7 months old and weigh 4 lbs 3 oz. I didn't seek out the poor little underweightlings, my friends bred their couple and that's what came out. Their mom is nearly nearly 6 lbs, and their pop is a little under 4 lbs. One of the little girl pups from Elvis' litter (which my friends kept) is not quite 3 lbs (at 14 months!). Their vet has told them not to try to breed her and they have 'retired' the mom. Hopefully, people will eventually realize that the so-called "teacups" are actually a genetic anomaly that diminishes the true desirable qualities of the breed.
