| When do Puppies reach their adult weight? Can anyone tell me when puppies generally reach their adult size & weight? Jen & Jolie are 8 months now and just broke 3 pounds. Their mom & dad were in the 4 & 5 pound range. Do they still have more growing to do?

| I think they are all different. Gracie is 11 mo. now and has not grown a bit for the last 2-3 months or so.

| I think they are all different, but I know AprilLove hit 3 lb 2 oz, just over 7 months old, and she gained another 10 oz between 7 and 13 months. She's 16 months now and has stayed at 3 3/4 since 13 months. Her parents were 3 and 5 lbs. Forgot to add, she hasn't really gotten bigger as far as size, she just filled out, more "meaty"

| Ok... So it seems like my two won't get much bigger, just "fill out" more.. Huh, thought they would be more than 4 pounds by now. I was hoping for closer to 5 pounds but hey, they are what they are!

| Zoey's parents were 4 and 5 lbs. She is now 6 mos old and a few weeks ago weighed 6 lbs. I am concerned she is going to get HUGE. How much more weight should I expect her to gain before she is an adult?? (I do not overfeed her either). Zoey's mom, Viv |

| Personally, I see they reach their weight for sure around a year and a half, once they have 'filled out'. Usually, it will be around a year, but sometimes a little longer. |
