14.7-boy
15.5-boy
17.2-boy,my monster puppy

Everyone's weight charts only go up to 6lbs full grown, but I found one that I have been using as a back up the last few litters and found it to be more accurate with my puppies and it goes up to 7 lbs and they say that a puppy that weighs 16oz on week 2 should weigh 7 lbs as an adult.

So with that said I will only have one teapot That is if they stay on schedule.

Oh I feel so much better. And I guess you would also have to add that my Lilly carries her pups until day 65, which would make them bigger then a bitch that gives birth on day 59-60!

Feeling so much more less stressed!

Thanks for all your insight

I'm sorry for my ignorance on this next question.......... What is the difference between a Teapot and a Teacup? After reading through this thread, I am confused (I have 2 boys and 1 girl that will be ready around Christmas)

at 4 weeks (today) they currently weigh:

Girl (Jinny) 17.5 oz
Boy 1 (Aaron) 19.6 oz
Boy 2 (Jacob) 26.4 oz


At 2 weeks they weighed:

Girl (Jinny) 10.6 oz
Boy 1 (Aaron) 11.2 oz
Boy 2 (Jacob) 19.5 oz

In the last week, they have not increased their weight but by just a little because they have been very, very active since they have started walking and two already have their back teeth coming in.

Depending on different web sites you go to, they never list Teapots, only Teacups. So I always thought that they just called them Teapots in different parts of the country or something like that. But after reading through this thread, I'm assuming it has to do with weight? Could you explain this to me? Thanks so much!
