That all depends on the dog and its genes.
I do know that after having a standard 6.5lbs yorkie and now my 3lbs teacup I much perfer the little bigger dog. They are a little more sturdy and less likely to break a bone. They do have a few other issue if they are below 3.5lbs, one being hypoglycemic. We havent had any problem with our 3Lbs puppy yet nor does he have any other healthy concern. But you can get those with any dog, they are just more noticable on a pooch that is so small. |
