When I picked out my baby..who was also the runt of the litter.. I was told that he would not be very big at all and would prob never get above 4lbs since mom and dad were 4 & 5lbs (mom was only 5lbs because she was preg they said).. And at that time that's exactly what I wanted to hear because I had always wanted a tiny dog I could put in my purse..not really understanding just how fragile he would be. My little man turns 1 next month and he just hit 3lbs. I don't think he will get much bigger BUT if he did I would not mind one bit in fact I would actually prefer that he put on little weight. I'm sure there are people out there though that neglect their babies because they ended up bigger than anticipated...it's sad to imagine! |
