Quite frankly, a dog that small would not be a good mix with young children. |
Actually my children are 7 and 10 and they are really responsible and love our Sammy. They are so gentle with Apple and our cats.
As for a smaller weight, even if their could be one found, I can tell you one of my Sphynx weighs only 6 pounds. She is healthy but some Sphynx are know to be born small. She is in great health.
I actually have a friend looking for a small Maltese or Yorkie in her small town in PA for me. Some people have been know to have to give up their dog due to bankruptcy or foreclosure so as sad as I feel for them, I may be able to get a darling puppy so it won't end up in the shelter to be put to sleep.
