She is overweight at 4 lbs and should be 3 1/2 lbs. Roxie is 7 months and the breeder (also Pixie's breeder) said her lines stop growing by 6-7 months for the most part and may put on a little more weight. So far I have had Roxie 3 months and she has put on a little less than a pound and in the last month has only gained 3 ounces. She weighs 3 lbs 12 ounces right now.
What size did Sophie's breeder estimate her to be? |
she estimated her to be 5 or 6 pounds when full grown,
she has hit the 5 pound mark which led me to believe that she is about finished growing.
however i know a breeder can be wrong on estimating size and that it isn't set in stone.
