I think this thread is funny..when you say all your dogs are supposed to be smaller but all turned out bigger. Are they on growth hormone treatment or something? (just kidding) My Siu Pao is now about 5 months and is 7 pounds and really he doesn't look big at all unless he is standing next to a 3 pounds yorkie. But carrying him in his carrier bag..is another story...I find that my shoulder feels like they are going to break after half an hour
