I know it's impossible to predict, but I feel like maybe it is also impossible to tell by how much she weighs now. I am sure she would look beautiful no matter what and what is important is that she is healthy, but I already spent $1100 for her, $350 for her airline ticket, and another $1000 in pet supplies, including a lot of clothes and a nice carrier all for a dog that is supposidly only 5 lbs full grown. Plus, the reason I wanted a Yorkie was to be able to carry her around and take her on the plane with me. If she gets too big that's not happening. It just would make me sad to have to leave her at home anytime I go out, and not be able to hide her in the carrier, etc. |
Sorry you feel the way you do.... I really doubt your yorkie will be 4 lbs.... and it very well might come from small parents but sometimes it doesn't mean much. My mom is 5 feet tall..... my sister is 5 feet 2 and my dad is 5 feet 6 inches. I am 5 feet 10inches....... figure that one..... you just never know.
But I travel with my yorkie all the time. Airline policies are below 10 lbs under the seat.... so I think you'll be OK.
I am very honest with people who buy my pups..... I only do size calculations but I always tell them there is no certain way. I always try to deter from talking about size..... and I always add a little over the charts.
Congrats on your new baby and STOP spending money now for clothes.... wiat till she's older ... like 7 months. Besides... it's summer!
