Thank you Amie. I've been wondering what the standard sizes for Chi's are. Jaelyn is 4 1/2 lbs. I worried a bit at first because when her prev owner turned her in she weighed 5 1/2 lbs. My rescue area organizer reminded me that she wasn't getting any exercise before and now she is, plus she's now getting alot of play time. Still, I'm wondering if there's a point I should worry about her weight being too low.
Thanks so much!

A lot of unethical breeders will try to sell smaller chi's as "teacups" and people who don't do any research fall for that language. They also try to charge more for the smaller dog's. What they don't tell you is the health issues that come along with buying "teacups" anything. --- On Fri, 9/26/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Teacup Size > To: "_Chihuahua's Y" <[email protected]> > Date: Friday, September 26, 2008, 1:38 AM > I know that there is no such thing, per say, as Teacup > Chihuahuas.
