Some puppies grow alot and slow down others grow slow and then speed up.
Then we have Candi who is very tiny and let me tell youShe isn't even 2 1/2 lbs yet but we have paid big in vet bills and I am not talking unhealthy.
I just spent the last 20 minutes going thru her file and after shots and puppy check ups. She has cost me $1094.27 in just emergancy room bills and $410.10 in vet follow ups or meds. She isn't even 1 yet.
She has had to stay all night because the very first time she went outside she was stung by a bee, because of her size she became very ill
She slide in the tub and became unconscious and couldn't breath
she was playing with my other yorkie and again passed out
she was playing with a toy shaking it it hit her head and knocked her out
The little ones are way more fragile than you could imagion. |
That iis so true you cant rely on the weight charts. My girl was 12 oz at 8 weeks. According to the charts she should be 3 lbs but she is 6 and i love every pound of her. There are alot of things you cant do with a tiny that you can with a bigger yorkie. I think you just like the idea of having a super tiny one but you havent really thought about the benefits of a bigger one.
