Hmmm, I wouldn't specifically look for a dog that small, but I'm all right with the fact that Missy's only suppose to end up being 3.25 lbs fully grown. I fell in love with her, not her size. I have been quite surprised with some of the comments I've received about Missy. Such as, "NO, I don't want to hold her, she's too small" and "why didn't you get a REAL dog". I have to admit, it hurt my feelings! I very much think of Missy as a "real dog".
