| I guess it's not a typo as she posted twice that is their weight. 4 oz is the precooked weight of a Quarter Pounder hamburger patty. That is *so* small. I just don't get why some people out there think that is ok to take those pups away from their momma!

But isn't 4 ounces really, REALLY tiny for an 8-week-old pup, even? Isn't the general recommended rule 12 weeks OR 2 pounds?

| Yeah I think when they come out of the momma that's how big they are. Hopefully this person's scale is broken.

| Totally did not even pay attention to the weight... I think I thought I read "lbs" and not "oz" -- woah! Good work, captnoonie!

| Must be wrong...Ahi was really tiny at 8 weeks...she was only about 14oz. And her vet said that Ahi was the smallest Yorkie she seen at that age. She said the ones she seen at 8 weeks average 2lbs.! lol If I knew then what I know now it would have been different. I do not regret getting my baby but next time will be the right way. oh yeah and i'm gonna ask them to please leave his/her tail.

| Hey there! Here in Israel it is illegal to shorten the tail, all my furbabies have long tails, tell yu the truth short tails are nicer but you get used to them wagging them around like flags, just have to trim the hair so the poop doesn't stick!

| i have 2 girls. zowi, who is 10 years 8 months and pixie who is 16 months old. my 16 month old pixie was rescued from a puppy mill when she was 2 weeks old along with her mother. pixie is very tiny, barely weighing in at 4 pounds full grown. the shelter i adopted her from would not let her go to her forever home until she was 2 pounds, she was almost 5 months old before she got to be this size. i would be concerned that the breeder was trying to sell of the pups before they cost him/her more $ or before any health problems were detected. a good breeder would wait at least until they were 12 weeks so they could be health certified. i am not trying to be rude at all, just concerned for you and the pups and wanted to share this info.

Unbelievable. I stand by what I said in your "pregnant not pregnant" thread. You are a BYB trying to get information from responsible and professional breeders on YT. Honestly, how can you continue to defend yourself over and over?
