I take him to the vet on a regular bases and he recently broke his leg trying to be super man and at 15 weeks he weighed in a 5lbs and 2 oz..... so I was wondering how big do you think he will be!  |
I'm so shocked at this I'm reeling. Please inform authorities about that, I'm pretty sure it's against the law in most states, and if it isn't it should be. Tail docking should only be done the first few days, when puppies don't have much feeling or circulation to the area, six weeks is way too old and would be considered an amputation. Thank goodness you refused the docking.
Some of the most beautiful Yorkies I’ve seen are the biggest, and even at 10 pounds that’s a pretty small dog. I doubt if he will weigh over 10, and we have a "teapot" club you might be interested in joining. Hope his leg recovers soon.
