| Teddy was 3.8lbs at months and i think he was around 4.8 lbs at 4 months I'm not sure off the top of my head though. Anyway he's been a steady 10.5 lbs this month. he's 8 months now.. his parents were 7 lbs and 4 lbs. I'd expect her to be bigger more to love. However she may slow down so you never know. |

| A quick rule of thumb.. Double the weight of 12 weeks. Not an exact science though.. I'd say expect over 8 or 9 lbs. |

| I'd guess she's going to wind up over 10 pounds, not within standard, but all the more to love.

| Breed's weight estimate rule of thumb is multiply the weight at about 3-4 months by two. So your baby will probably be around 10-11 pounds. Mine isn't a tea cup but a small toy, he was 2.3 pounds at around 2-4 months. He's now 7 months at 3.7 pounds. His breeder expected him to be around 4.5 pounds initially which the vet agreed and he just has more "filling in" to do and he'll be done growing. |
