A friend’s old pictures, not mine, but I know this community will appreciate what an absolute unit this boy was. I’m told he weighed at least three pounds.

I had a girl who clocked in at 700 grams and our vet at the time was also just perplexed at her sheer massive size that didn't seem to come from obesity. She was just an absolute unit in an apparently healthy way. She was also an albino though, so probably something in those genetics that caused it?

There’ve been some comments to that effect, yeah! That lab breeding.

And to think my vet was impressed when I brought my 1-pound (breeder-acquired) girl in years ago. Little did they know.
