Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Quote:
I just feel bad for the dogs ....it just makes me feel bad that a tiny pound or 2 would cause you to not bond with her when so many people are dealing with sick little puppies. she may sense your feelings...which is why maybe it is better for her if you do ask the breeder to take her back. I think you knew what people's reactions would be since most all your posts are about her weight - try to read them for what they are and don't feel picked on - it's just opinions.

Wow, you have other pets too? If that is the case, I can't imagine not falling in love with ANY puppy right away. When it comes down to it, what is the big deal how much she weighs? Lily is 7lbs and I still feel like she is tiny. If you get a "tiny, tiny" it may be too small to play with your other animals safely.

| don't let people get you down with what they say. Some might think you might not love the pup as much as you would if she was smaller. But if you think there is a chance that they could be right then you should do whatever is best for the pup. (you dont love the dog for the size ,you love them because they are great to love) I hope everything works out for you and the pup

| I usually myself stay away from threads like this, i dont personally get involved ... but here are my thoughts anyway, If you feel after one week you dont want her anymore, she is better off getting a new home where the new mommy wont be disappointed about the size, you chose this yorkie obviously so you should love this little furbaby no matter what size she is, I also understand wanting small, I think yorkies ARE small, 4 pounds 6 pounds 7 pounds ...... they are a smaller breed .....I feel bad for this little furbaby, so i wish you the best in whatever choice you make, I just hope zoe finds a loving and safe home ... good luck .

| I understand you wanting a small yorkie... and since that is what "you thought you paid for". I have 4 little ones (3 1/2 pounds and under)... and yes... they are what I WANTED... small. Wishing you the best in finding what you want. Hopefully the breeder will take your puppy back.

| Is it really that much of a difference? 3 lbs or 6 lbs? I'd take a healthy 6 punder than a sickly 3 lbs baby in a heartbeat. I know there are healthy tinies out there. But just all the precautions you HAVE to take with the smaller ones are scary. Yes, you do have to be careful with a Yorkie thats only a couple lbs. But a young puppy that's a couple lbs will grow into a good weight as adult and I personally enjoy that weight more as it allows you to get out and do more things with your dog. Do you want a tiny because they're so easy to take everywhere? What if she hates being in the carrier? If weight is so important to you, you should probably give her back, before she gets attached to you...I know it's not that easy. I paid more for Pepper, I admit, as he was supposed to be tiny too (yes, I was looking for a tiny, I admit.....). But, oh well, he kept growing. He's already 5 lbs at 7 months and I stopped worrying about his weight early on, he simply stole my heart. I'm planning to have kids one day within the next few years and I would never want him to get hurt because of his small size, so grow Pepper, grow! But if you know your heart is set on the weight and nothing will change it, the pup's better off back...

My lexi at 12 weeks was exactly 2lbs which means she should be 4lbs well she is 7lbs My Tori was 3lbs 2ozs at 11weks which means 6 1/2 7lbs and now is 5 and a half lbs at 18 months 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.
