I got Pippin at 7 1/2 weeks. I know everyone says it's too young but Pippin had no issues when I brought him home, he was a happy pup that wanted to chew on my socks and climb all over my cat. Anyways, the first time I got him weighed was at his first vet visit at his new home with me and he weighed about 1.25lbs. His vet told me he'd be around 7lbs. He's a year old and he weighs about 8 1/2lbs. He's not over weight because I can still feel his rib cage and he only eats when he's hungry.
There is dry kibble down all the time for him and if he eats really good one day, he won't touch his food the next day or sometimes he'll pick at his food. Either way his vet said he's very healthy at that weight so thats fine with me.
