If he was small he wouldn't be able to play with our Basset without me worrying and that would be awful because I want them to be companions. He was only about 3 lbs when I got him at 12 weeks, and now he is 5 lbs at 24 weeks. I would be a nervous wreck if he was smaller. It would be okay if he was the only dog in the house. I don't know how big he will get but the breeder estimated 5-6 lbs. I always thought I wanted a so-called "teacup" size dog but I'm definitely glad I don't have one, although I wouldn't mind if mine stayed right at 5 lbs :-) |
I know what you mean!! I have had people say to me... oh no let her stay small!! What I care about is is she is the correct weight for her bone structure. I am so glad she gained a bit because she was so bony you could count her ribs..come on... a 4 or 5 lb pup is still very small !!!
