I've read that a lot of vets say they have their full size at 6 months. Meaning they're bone structure is set, they are as long or tall as they will get but they will probably gain weight. When I read about pups like Sammi I can't believe she is the same length or the same height as she was when she was 6-7 months old. I know Pirogue is not the same size as he was when he was 6-7 months old. He weighs over 10# and right now I can't remember how much he weighed at 6 months but we never thought he'd be 9# let alone over 10.
Now, Lady gained 2 lbs between the time she was 6 months to 1 year. But she's not noticably bigger, I can see she's bigger but I have to stop to look and think about it to realize it.
Lacijo was under 2# at 6 months and now she's 9 1/2 months and 3.8# but I haven't weighed her this week. Week before last she weighed 3.5# and the same the week before. I don't think she'll reach 4# and stay there, maybe fluctuate lower but not more, I think. Sylvia |
