If you have something in writing, you may be able to hold her to it. It'd be nice if there was any way that you can return some of the things you bought for a smaller Yorkie and get your money back? Maybe if you can produce receipts the breeder might be willing to reimburse you for some of your purchases because you didn't get what you were looking for in size? NO, that'd be nice, but in all honesty, she should've told you not to go out buying things for an adult dog that you don't even know the final size of. That's where we ALL get into problems. You just have to trust the breeder, but more importantly watch her grow and wait to buy adult items until they are at least 10 months.
As far as the airline transportation goes, most policies are now 13 lbs and I believe that does not include the weight of the crate. The dimensions just need to be appropriate per airline so that it will fit under the seat in front of you. It quite unlikely that she'll get to be that big, but know that you should still be able to carry her around and travel w/ her just fine. |
On our first e-mail to each other, the breeder did write down that the puppy is guaranteed to be under 5 lbs because of her lineage. Now, on the contract that is not stated. There is no reference to size. I wouldn't do anything against the breeder, after all, I am very happy with Malibu. She is a beautiful and sweet puppy.
To tell you the truth I just really think that maybe the vet weigh her wrong. She definetly doesn't feel like she is 3 lbs already. In case she really is 3 lbs though, I just wanted to see if there is any possibility that she will only grow 1 more pound. I just wonder if that is possible because the breeder says it is.
Thank you so much for the information you provided me! It really helps to know whether or not I can bring her with me. I really appreciate your thorough response.
