The parents are oversized Toy Poodles. The mom weighs about 6 1/2 lbs normally. The dad weighs about 8 lbs. The apricot girl weighs 12 1/2 ounces today. The black phantom girl weighs 11 ounces today. They have more than doubled their weight in the last week... definitely healthy little babies! This is our third litter, and we had 2 apricots in each of the first two litters. For some reason, all of the apricots have been larger than the black ones. For example, the first litter I had a black phantom male and he now weighs 5 1/2 lbs full grown. From the same litter his apricot sister weighs 7 lbs.

BTW- Congratulations on your new litter!
