I would say that say that a puppy that is 3 1/2lbs at 12 weeks is likely going to be a teapot. Once you get her eating (soon hopefully) she will grow even faster.

Sometimes you can estimate the adult size of your puppy by the parents. Did you see the mom and the dad? Even that is not a sure thing because the parents can produce pups that are either bigger or smaller than themselves.

My Gracie was not 3 1/2lbs until she was around 5 months old. She was not a great eater either at first. She is 5lbs now and 2 years old.

Are you feeding your puppy what the breeder was feeding? It is not a good idea to change such a young puppy's food. It is very upsetting to the digestive system.
