So you think by 6 months he should hit around 5lbs, then slow down? They grow the 1st year right?
I don't want to have health issues with him down the road, I know the smaller dogs are more prone to health issues
We did fight worms up till the last vet visit, so I know that slowed his growth the first 3 months also |
Any dog can be prone to health issues...It's just the ones where there is an unethical breeder involved that breds to have the so-called tiny/micro babies that have the big issues with their health. That's why it is so important to make sure the breeder is an ethical breeder and really cares about keeping the yorkie standard. Remy is little because he was the runt. His two sisters hogged all the food while in their mom's tummy lol. However, so far he is healthy as a horse. I really wanted him to be bigger but I don't think that's going to happen. Then again, my sister and daughter's yorkies had a growth spurt between the ages of 2 and 3 years old so there is hope. Gotta love them! They are too cute and smart.
