Welcome to you and your Big Boy!

Would love to see pics of your Teapot Son. I bet he is adorable! I don't have one that big but I do have a chubby bubby Chizzie who needs to lose about 2 lbs.

Bentley weighed 9.5 pounds yesterday... and he isn't even 5 months old yet! His dad is 4 pounds and his mom is 7 pounds. I'm glad he is bigger, he seems more sturdy and not quite so breakable... plus I got a discount from the breeder because of his size.

Keegan is 12# & he is a WONDERFUL little stinker.

PrincessDiana · 12-30-2008, 12:55 PM

Yep, we have teapots too! Franklin is 13lbs and Maggie is 10lbs. Wouldn't have it any other way although sometimes I wish they were a little more portable, haha!

I would love to take them everywhere with me but they're so heavy.

oh yeah be happy you got a big boy.... the little ones are scary to own. I have a 9lber(ish) and he is solid and sturdy and Im not afraid for him. I have a 5.5lber and he is this tiny little thing with tiny little bones and Im soo afraid of him getting hurt, stepped on, etc...

Im sure your big boy is still a beauty!

Yes he's quite a dog. He seems to think that he is the center of the
universe tho. I'm trying to figure out how to post pics.

I have a 7.5 -8 lb and she seems so little to me. I'd love to see picture s of your tea pot yorkie's ! I bet they are very sturdy , and do not seem as fragile as their cousins.

Bonnie is just shy of 3 pounds and she couldn't be healthier. It really depends on whether or not you get your dog from a reputable breeder who knows the background of his/her dogs.

While smaller yorkies are prone to more issue that does not make all unhealthy. Without starting trying to start a debate there are many very tiny yorkies that are sick because of breeding to make smaller and smaller dogs.

It doesn't matter to me if my babies are 2 lbs or 22 lbs I believe that we love them all the same and wouldn't give up our little angels for the world.

I don't think we mean any insult to the tiny tots. But I'm gonna guess that we who have teapots like to play more rough with our pups than we can with the little sweeties.
I love them all though. Some one said that when they are little pups they look just like a rottie (which I think is a sweet sweet dog) & a dobie....do you think THAT'S where they got their attitudes from?

LOL... I hear you! Before I met my hubby and his 5 lbs. Mitzi I thought a dog I have to bend over to pet is not really a dog... Boy, am I cured!!!

He is also the biggest cuddler!! Which the Momma really appreciates on these cold Texas

nights.

1) Boo in his summer cut
2) Gracie Ruth, Yogi & Boo-all 3 saying, "Enough already Momma!"

Do we have twins???

Maximus looks just like Boo...
