I'm filling up my SUV, packing my two up, and going to the Poles
immediately. I wouldn't want to make that darling little girl Iris
wait one second longer than necessary ! Your comprehensive
description of the apparent loving and caring sibling relationship
she has with Ivan, won my heart over completely.

FYI, I have about the same situation as you.
My Male Sneakers (2.5yo/12Lbs) a tenured YTTPC Member, was recently
joined by his Sister Becca (1yo/6.8Lbs)(from a subsequent litter).
I have witnessed a connection between these two, which I don't think
any human intervention could match.
I resisted offering Becca for a Cheerleader, since their Sire and Dame
threw such large pups, and am waiting for her to gain another few
tenths, to make the 7.1 Lb requirement for full membership.
Which shouldn't take long, she's become a highly skilled beggar
for Cheese Treats !

Thank you for your support of Iris. She is anxiously awaiting the club's decision. Her brother has his paws crossed for her too.

We will all be routing for your little Becca. She's so close and still young that we're sure she will get there if she works at it. I'm sure Sneakers can show her how it's done.

Ivan and Iris are actually littermates but he's always been bigger than her. She was 2.1 pounds and he was 2.8 pounds when we brought them home at 9 1/2 weeks. Their other littermates were bigger like Ivan. Ivan had a big growth spurt at about 4 months of age (and then a few more after that ) while Iris just had a slow and steady gain. I guess she was just meant to be petite flower.
