She said she doesn't guarantee the size or color of her dogs - BUT - get this - she said if the puppy exceeds 4lbs then she would have to evaluate if it was structurally small but maybe overweight. If the pup actually exceeded her guestimate, then she would refund the difference of $500.00. I have this is writing in an email and believe me, I will hold her to it!! She is 10 weeks old right now and weighs 1lb 12oz. I don't understand all those size charts and such - but for all you experts, based on the size she is now, do you think there's a good chance she'll be less than 4lbs full grown?
If things go as planned, I may have her by early august!
Here's her picture again for you guys to oooogle!!! |
I guess as a breeder I am wondering why only one set of vaccinations?? This concerns me. I have to admit I hold off on the rabies vaccinations on my smaller babes. But one and I am assuming she will be 12 weeks old when you might get her??
To get a better idea on adult size on a pup you would have to take the 6, 8 and 12 week weights and compare them against each other to get the best
guess as pups go through growth spirts.
This pup is a cutie no doubt about that!!
