Hi, Venus,
My "big boy" is 8.1 pounds. He is taller and longer, but in perfect shape!
Both of his parents were show dogs and the other four pups in his litter were
all much smaller. He is wonderful as a therapy dog because he is bigger and not
as fragile as smaller chis. I was told by my breeder that he could not show
because of his size. the limit is 6 pounds! My little rescue pup is only 5
pounds. I love them both! I don''t care! (Neither should you! LOL)
