Jemma is a Shorkie. Her Mom, s**tzu was 9 pounds, her Daddy, Yorkie was 6 pounds. Jemma is a week shy of 7 months and weighs 4 pounds. Her height is 8 1/2 inches, just measured her.
Jemma weighed 2 pounds when she came home. She wasn't growing at all and I did not want a teeny puppy or a , what's it called, tea cup? Which doesn't really exist. I wanted health.
I don't know if she will get bigger. She is at the stage of YIKES, what is it, lol. She is leggy and long. But looks skinny. IMHO that is. Cute? I think so. I think she is very pretty. She does have a undershot, which is very common of the s**tzu.
However, her VERY HIGH activity level is going to kill me yet. She is stubborn. She is loveable. It took 6 months for her to get the hang of the pee pad. I think we're ok with that now. Fingers crossed.
Jemma will be what she will be. I love her if she grew horns. Which I think she has now. I swear at times I see her running with a pitch fork.
