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!!! |
Congrats I'm so excited for you. I know you can't wait. I think these tinies are absolutely adorable. But, and this is just me. I don't think I would want one only because of our lifestyle and my son who is high functioning autistic, not because I'm afraid that he would hurt it, he has never hurt any of our dogs. He gets so excited from time to time and doesn't pay attention to what he is doing. Nothing has ever happened to any of ours. I would be paranoid all the time that if we had one that tiny that it would get steped on or sat on. Ours have come close several times to being sat on but they can move pretty quickly.
I think our dogs are just the right size. Mollie is 6 - 6 1/2 lbs and Wyatt is around 10lbs at 11 months old. Wow, I just realized Wyatt will be 1 on the 27th of this month. This year has flown by.
It sounds like you have found a great breeder who is very responsible.
Keep us posted as to how everything turns out.
