Thanks for all your replies.

I think mentioning your dogs weight is absolutely fine. I just hate to see so many people "concerned" about their dog getting "huge" when it weighs 3 1/2 pounds (or less) at 4 months, etc.

I personally got a Yorkie because I wanted a small dog. I really want a dog that weighs 10 pounds or less because of my back. Believe me, I have a 21- pound dog that I can hardly bath or take care of. For sure, he's hard for me to lift or carry around.

I think my pup weighs about 6 1/2 pounds and is about 6 months old. To date, he is totally easy for me to lift and carry -- I think he'll probably gain a few more pounds -- and this will still be easy for me.

Thanks again - Carol Jean
