I've got my first litter (two boys) and they're 5 months old. One boy is just beautiful, top line, coat color/ texture, beautiful gait but darned if he isn't already 5lbs. 13 oz. My question for all you experienced breeders is, what is your guesstimate of his final size? My mentor here seems to think he'll only get to about 6.5 lbs. I just don't understand how he'll not grow more than that.

P.S. He is not overweight at all. He is fed twice a day (Chick Soup for Puppies + a little steak or chicken added in for flavor). We exercise him very well (~1.5 mile a day brisk walk/ run) muscular build.
