Fergus is 5 pounds and perfect for me. But my Mom is wheelchair bound and delicate, so when we got my Dad Callum, we knew he would be smaller. He is 3.3 pounds and is ALL dog. nothing frail about him. My Dad plays catch in the back yard with him for about 30 minutes every night...he chases rabbits in their yard, and BARKS at the UPS man like he is trying to take the good silver.
He is not fragile in the least, but he came from a really good breeder and he was just on the small side. He can be a picky eater (not helped out by the fact my dad hand feeds him sometimes! the dog is addicted to cottage cheese!) but apart from that, he is a doll (and he lived with me for a few weeks and my guys range from 5-112 pounds, so, he is tough!)
