My Yorkie is 4 months old and already 4lbs ... People are always telling me how tiny he is even for a puppy ... I guess it depends on what people are used to, everybody has big dogs in my community. I dont say anything back to them, I ignore them. It frustrates me to no end when people comment about his size "Oh there goes the killer in the neighborhood!" That's the comment I got yesterday. I'm pretty sure it is not meant to be mean or rude, but when everybody says the same thing about him it gets old
I understand that you are frustrated, especially when they ask if he is "real". But 7lbs is really tiny! Weird ...
