I feel so bad for this poor puppy. I hope someone gives her a chance. Just because she has an aggression issue now doens't mean she always will. I bought a Chihuahua "in person" that I thought was just shy. He has terrible aggression issues at times and is very fearful of most people and situations on top of that he definately isn't perfectly built for a Chihuahua. But I figured people don't give up their children becasue of bad attituded are because they don't look as handsome or pretty as they dreamed of so I was determined to work it out. Twelve years later I love him still and I am grateful to have given him a chance. Plus I would buy him allover again if I had to. I have learned what situations he is not comfortable in and I make sure he doens't encounter it. If someone comes over that he doesn't like I make sure to either hold him or put him in another room to keep him and my guest safe. As for her size when I bought Ava she was so tiny. A month later she was the same size as my friends's yorkie was at that same age and her dog wound up over 10lbs. Today she is 2 years old and she only weighs 5 pounds. I don't thing there is any definate growth rate, all dogs are different even if they are the same breed.
