Pup in a Cup

I think it could be a 3 ounce pup. At 5 days old, I still had two puppies at 2.5 ounces. Chi's are smaller even than yorkies. So, I can see how they could have a 3 ounce pup. Maybe they were stretching it on the 3 weeks? But maybe not. There are always preemies and "runts" that are smaller than average.

That pup looks bigger than 3 oz

Rosiegirl · 04-10-2009, 05:08 AM

I don'y know about that, either than is a small cup or the pup is 3.9 oz. or something. I have a runt that is 5 days old and he is about 97 grams today. (that's 3.45 oz) and there is no way he could fill a cup like that. Cute pic though. Maybe if it is a tiny sized cup ?????

That sure does not look like a 3 oz puppy to me. I recently had a litter of pups that were in that size range and they were so tiny. They said that pup is 8" long so that would make it a lot bigger that 3 ozs. IMO. This just reminds me how so many people exaggerate about their puppies size.

Cute pup but it is not 3 oz.

LOL I saw pup in a cup and thought maybe you stuck one of your shorkies in a cup. Guess they're too big for a cup now. How cute!

I understand having tiny runts and that at 5 days old some are still 2-3 oz.
I just thought it was funny, because I'm sure that most breeders on here know that what a 3 oz puppy looks like.
And they said that this puppy is 8 inches long.
Who knows...maybe its a miniature doll tea cup

I just thought it was funny

And CUTE

I just looked at the picture and didn't scroll down to read the article about the 8 inches long. You are right -- that doesn't equate with the 3 ounces very well. Mine are about 8 inches now (nose to stub of tail) and they are weighing @ a pound. I guess I just figured it was one of those smaller cups and did not see anything unusual about a 3 ounce Chi pup.

Remember it is a Scottish tea cup, not a big ol' honking American mug! (I collect fine china tea cups & demitasse -- don't ask me why! -- now this is where you are going to hear much more than you ever wanted to know about teacups: But a real tea cup only holds about 6 ounces whereas most of our cups here will hold 8-10 ounces. Then there are mugs that hold even more. Go ahead yawn.

)

So, if it was just the picture -- I would say it could very well look like that at 3 ounce (maybe I am not most breeders) because of how mine looked at 2-3 ounces and knowing there is a wide range of tea cup sizes. But the 8 inch part raises the eyebrow more than a bit!

I like to think most people are honest but I am more than often let down.

Does Nana Deb Treasures breed shorkies too? I had read about her morkies, had not seen her shorkies. I get confused with all these "designer" mixes. I read about a registry that actually registers a dog called a Schweenie. It is a cross between a Shih Tzu and a Dachshund! More weird news.

I took a picture of Ben when he was a pup next to a cup -- only because the cup says Big Boss and that is what he has always thought he is!

FlDebra · 04-10-2009, 04:31 PM

I tried to switch the pictures but I timed out. So, here is the real one of Ben next to a cup. But he is definately not 3 ounces. He was just over 12 weeks here. I think it was just a few days after we got him. And he is still the Big Boss.

I do not breed Shorkies and Sherrie knows this.
My ex-husbands, (I just got divorced this Tues.) Shih Tzu got with my dog. It was an accident.
I agreed to whelp these puppies so nothing bad happened to Amber or the puppies. He didnt know how...or know of anyone who could help whelp them and I didnt feel I could just let Amber pay for his mistake.

I was VERY upset about this.
Amber will be living with my Ex. I have no intention of ever breeding anything but Morkies. I love Morkies.

I just posted what I thought was a cute puppy from the news
I just didnt feel it was as small as they said it was.
Why did I deserve this Sherrie and Debra?

I had only seen the thread, I guess if I would have thought, I would have known there was no way they could have been yours. Yes, the shorkies were an accident, but, I do have to say, they were very cute, and Yes, Debbi was upset when that happened!

NanaDtreasures · 04-10-2009, 06:51 PM

Thank you Sherrie

phfgkl · 04-11-2009, 06:20 AM

You're welcome Debbi, I should have cleared that up right off. I remember how devastating that pregnancy was, and yes, she could have sent the shih tzu with her ex hubby to be, but, he would have had no clue how to whelp, and those babies are beatufiul. Infact, if she would have had more girls than boys, I would have been driving to Ohio to get one
