Hi Beth, I have been breeding pekes for almost 30 years and have had many sleeves. First of all there is absolutely NO WAY you can tell if a puppy will be a sleeve until they are over a year old. When they are born they are the same size as all puppys, at about 12 weeks to 4 months old you may notice one that is growing but not gaining as much weight as it's litter mates, this "may" be an indication of a possible sleeve. Also the fontal bones will not be closing as much as its litter mates, eyes may seem alot larger, but still this may not be a sleeve. A sleeve is 6 lbs or under at ADULT weight. Alot of times a pup may stay under 6 lbs up to a year old then mature out to 7 or over lbs which then means it is not a sleeve. If you go to my website I have a page on sleeves hopefully that will help you. http://www.geocities.com/palaceoutlaw/sleeves.html.
