| Growth Chart - How big will they get? Do you remember what your baby weighed when you got him/her and do you know what he/she weighs now? If the answer is yes, please look at the Growth chart posted by the administrator (download the chart for correct viewing) then tell me how well your baby fits into these guidelines. My baby was only 9 ounces at 8 weeks and according to the chart should have only been 2 pounds, but he now weighs in at slightly under 4 pounds at maturity and doesn't seem overweight. Just wanted to know how accurate a chart is in determining a puppy's weight at maturity. Thanks. |

| I remember that the chart didn't go big enough for Susan, but I guesstimated from the chart that she'd be just shy of 8 lbs and that's just what she is. |

| The weight chart didnt work for me. My dogs were 16 and 12 oz at 8 weeks and should have been 2 and 3 lbs. They are 6 and 9 lbs.

| The chart is only a general guideline. It applies well to most dogs, but there are certainly dogs that are "off the chart." Not to worry about! Carol Jean |

| Growth Chart? I think there are too many factors that don't fit in the growth chart. It is very hard to determine size. The best I can do is an educated guess. I'm glad your lil man is heavier, It's just all around better for them.
