Puppy Weight Question
My wife and I are looking at puppies after losing both of our Morkies. One was 12 years old and the other was 15. They were the sweetest, best dogs ever, and we really miss them.
One of the puppies we’re considering is just under 2 lbs at 12 weeks old. That seems really tiny to us, and we’re a little concerned about possible health issues or other complications that can come with being that small.
He’s a male, and based on some charts we’ve found online, it looks like he may only be around 4 lbs full grown. That would be quite a bit smaller than our other Morkies, who were both around 7 lbs.
His dad is a 4 lb Maltese and his mom is a 7 lb Morkie.
For those of you who have had a Morkie puppy that was around 2 lbs at 12 weeks, how much did they end up weighing as adults? Also, should we be concerned about a puppy being this small, or is that pretty normal for some Morkies?
