I learned that my pup's mother weighs 12 pounds and his father weighs 4.5 pounds. Go figure! She said that most of their pups have ended up at about 6 to 6 1/2 pounds.
My puppy is 6 months old and couldn't be healthier. He is friendly, playful, eats like a pig, holds his own very well with my 21-pound Bichon, and has grown like a weed. He weighs 6 pounds now.
I think it's nice to hear a good "puppy store story" once in a while. I will have to admit that this wasn't one of the larger chain-store pet stores.

its probably unfair of me to make such a general statement about pet stores seeing i dont have all the info on every store out there... i'm just upset at my lack of research i guess and concern for my little one... which is probably just me over-reacting
altho in all fairness i would probably over-react if i thought one of my kids could be sick or have a health problem in the future too
i am glad you have a nice pet store where you live and glad you have had such good luck with your babies... how nice of the breeder to keep in touch
