Marshmallow the Teacup

Just look at those puppy dog eyes. 

UPDATE: Marshmallow has hit the 14 week mark and her weight is just 1lb 12oz! This pushes her estimated adult weight closer to the 3-4lb mark and indicates she may be the teensy tiny teacup we suspected. Watch her weigh in video to see her confirmed as the reigning champion of tiny among our current puppies. She is the ittiest of the bitty with an adorable personality, showcased in her second video.

Marshmallow might be the smallest in her litter, but she has the biggest personality. She is spunky and always ready to party. We've suspected for a while that we may have an extra teensy tiny teacup on our hands. At 12 weeks she is holding steady at an estimated adult weight of just 3.5-4.5lbs making her a rare teacup Maltese. She has some discoloration on her teeny tiny nose that is considered a "flaw" and we marked her down accordingly. For those who don't mind a pink little snoot, she's a steal.

Weight 5/1 @ 9 weeks and 2 days: 1lb 3.5oz

Weight 5/21 @ 12 weeks and 1 day: 1lb 10oz

Weight 6/4 @ 14 weeks and 1 day: 1lb 12oz

*Predicting a puppy's adult weight is an art, not a science. Our estimates are made using tools we have found to be accurate over the years. We strive to be accurate and conservative with our predictions. We encourage you not to just take our word for it, but to do your own research using the information provided.
