Weight doesn't matter Your precious baby is too cute....I don't know how you can look at that face and even think about resenting him for his size. No one can tell you exactly how much your baby will weigh, anyone can guesstimate, just by looking at mom and dad but even then you have these puppies that come out of no where and end up larger than all other littermates. Believe me, I breed, and my Maxy (6.1 lbs) is nearly twice the size of his sister Layla (3.8 lbs), and all other puppies that have come from same mom and dad. He's also bigger than mom and dad; we kept him for ourselves and not because we couldn't sell him. He actually was sold but then returned after 3 months because he was purchased for an 18 yr. old girl who didn't have the time to spend with him, she was heartbroken and still comes by to visit every so often, but that's another story. And as far as weight goes, you can still have a 6 pounder and it still be compact in size. My Kylie weighs 6 lbs, and she is shorter and not as long as Maxy who weighs 6.1 lbs. I hope everything works out for you. |

I was hoping for one that would be about 3 lbs and 4 at the most. So, not super tiny or anything. It just sucks that I was lied to and taken advantage of. |

Well, I guess you are just a better person than I am then. That's what you were hoping to hear right? |
I agree with you that is does suck that you were lied too. But I honestly have to say, I am soooooooooooooooooooo happy with TJ and Roxy - They are 7 lbs and 5 lbs - They truly are perfect! I also have a maltese/yorkie mix. She is approx. 15 months old. She is the SAME size as TJ...BUT she only weighs 3.5 lbs. She has a petite frame, but she is the same height and length as TJ So there you go...When you look at TJ and Cuddles together, you have NO IDEA that one weighs 2x the weight as the other! I say keep him, he sounds like a love bug! ;) |

I bought him this new food yesterday because he was on Eukanuba and I read that it's not the greatest. So I got a bag of Innova brand puppy food. It was a 6.6 lbs bag and as I was carrying the food I realized that if my dog got as heavy as that, it would just be too difficult for me to carry him around. unfortunately I have a pretty busy lifestyle which would require me to carry him around quite a bit. So that could be a problem. My arms and shoulders are kind of not the healthiest or strongest. |

Obviously she doesn't love him or she wouldn't be talking about giving him back based on the fact that he'll probably be bigger than 3 or 4 pounds. Punkie - I think you should give him back because you'll never be happy with him if he's "too big" and so it's best for him to find someone to love him for what he is - no matter what. Worrying about a pound or two sounds pretty shallow to me. I'm sorry if someone is upset with this but I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer. So, lambaste me if you want, but that's my opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide though, Punkie. This whole post makes me wonder - have we all been Punk'd? |

i also agree with the above poster that you should find him a new home...someone that will love him regardless of size. if i had the money to give you that you paid for him, i would take him in a heartbeat. but i don't. i do hope you find him a great home...OR i hope that you can fall in love with him regardless of size, coloring, or anything else that may not go as planned. |

You mentoined you tryed comparing him to a bag of food to carry around, ok i have 4 babies and only one arm and guess what , I can carry 2 at a time:) is it difficult, yup but i love every mininut of it, i can give and do give just as much love to my furkids as the next, what im trying to tell you is , its not about the size, its about the love and joy they give you:D I do hope you keep him, he is a doll,but if its not in your heart then you must rehome him. |

I totally agree with you. But you know honestly, if you won't love the puppy based on it's size, better to give it to someone who truly loves him for who he is. I doubt you will get all of your money back though, IMO. My yorkie poo Bentley is 10 lbs and can EASILY go anywhere with me. He has a bag that fits him just fine, and he isn't heavy on my shoulder at all. Or I simply carry him in my arms. In fact, many places allow me to walk him in the store because he's very well behaved. |

I'm currently trying to find him a new home. Hopefully someone else will fall in love with him and want him. |

I truly hope so. I feel so very bad for the little guy. I can't imagine not getting attached to a puppy. I hope you find what your looking for. I find this story very sad. |
how much are you wanting to get for him??? have you posted something here at YT?? let me know how much you want for him and i will try and help you find him a home. you are in Canada so it might be hard for me to help but i will sure try. sounds like you really don't want him...so I am willing to try and help you find him a great home. like i said, i would take him in a flash if i had the money. my hubby wouldn't even pay that much for maggie...i know he wouldn't go for it with another one. anyway...let's try to help you out here. I just hope and pray that when/if you do find one that is the size you want...that it is a good dog, and does not have health problems. i really hope and pray you get all you are looking for. I know what it is like to really want something..and i hope you get it. I'm sure posting something on YT would be a great way to find him a great home. (if you haven't already) |

I can understand how you would be mad at the breeder, since he said the pup would not get over 4 pounds. In reality, you just can't make those guarantees. If you decide to rehome him and you are set on a dog 3 or 4 pounds, you might want to buy one that is a older, that is the only way you'll know for sure. Again, good luck!:) |

One of My dogs was supposed to be 3 lbs and I paid extra for her to be smaller and she is 6 lbs. I could never give her up because of her size. Best of luck but you can never get a guarantee on weight |

LOL... OK then. I was kind of looking for advice and support and some people on here were very kind and sweet, which I'm grateful for. But you are just rude and very quick to judge I guess. I think that if you don't have anything nice to say, then maybe you should go with your first instinct to keep your mouth shut. |

I did buy the puppy and picked him out of two boys (not the litter), but that's only because he was the smallest one and since I haven't seen a lot of 9 week old Yorkies, he looked so tiny to me. The breeder also told me that he was less than a pound. The next day when I had him weighed, he was almost 2 lbs (1.8). The guy told me he would be 3 lbs at the most. So I was completely duped. I never would have gotten him, had I known that he was almost 2 lbs. I'm sorry if that sounds shallow to some people, but if I didn't care about size, then I would have just gotten a different breed. Like a poodle or something and I certainly wouldn't have spent so much money. Is it so wrong to know what you want and expect to get it? Maybe I'm not as passionate about this puppy as some of the people on here are about their dogs, but I've only had him for a week and he isn't what I thought I was getting. |
