I know this is an old thread, but hopefully this helps someone else. What I don't understand is why you would even WANT a dog that's going to be 2.5 pounds as an adult. No one, not even your breeder, can guarantee you how big your dog will get. A range for the breed is standard and maybe even an average for their puppies, but saying he would only weigh 2 pounds should have been your first warning. Never buy a puppy from a site that has a "buy it now" button a REAL breeder won't just sell their dog to anyone. They will want you to fill out an application to learn more about you or talk to you first. Otherwise they have no idea who their baby is going home with, does that sound like a responsible breeder to you? Trust me, I know the heartache of a sick puppy. Unfortunately for me, I didn't do my research on breeders until AFTER I bought my first puppy. She arrived sick and died within 3 days. I went to the news and am doing all I can to prevent this tragedy from happening to anyone else.
