A vet in NC told me to triple the 12 week weight and that is pretty much what he did. I have three dogs and all three grew at different rates. I have seen litter mates mature to very different weights. |
Oh wow! I thought I bought our toy poodle from a home, I mean, we went to a home of a notary. They showed me the poodles parent's paper work. But I don't know...they sold her as a teacup, which here in Mexico it's very common to advertise teacup French poodle because people understand that as a toy poodle. Don't be upset, this is another country and people think differently than they do up there. She's definitely a toy, but not a teacup. I had no idea there were problems with teacups before I brought her home. She's a good hardy dog, fine boned, a little on the long side, but a lot of poodles here are. That's why I told the breeder I bought my yorkie specifically that I did NOT want a doxie sized dog.
That would be a little bit of a shock if you were buying from a breeder who was suppose to know and ended up with a much larger dog.
