Buddy who was just over 3 lbs at 8 weeks now weighs between 5-6 lbs at a year and a half. He has maintained this weight since he was 8 months old.
I'll be honest with you that I'm not sure how reputable the breeder is. I would say she is knowledgeable about the breed and tries to breed good lines. But, after doing months of research, I let my guard down too much because she was one of the ones I actually liked, especially after looking so long.

The puppy is great! Her personality fits right in with our family, and she has been a breeze about training and nights have gone well......so far. I hope I am not coming across too negative about size. I was trying to buy a 6-7 pound Yorkie and was just surprised to see that she weighed so much this young.

Thanks for the info about your little guy.
