Welcome Becky and Finnegan! Love the name Finnegan for a puppy that found his new home on St. Patty's Day! It is a little early to predict a weight but being 15 weeks old and 2 pounds puts the Guestimate at 3-3.5 lbs full grown. You can also take what he weighed at 12 weeks and double it for an estimate. But it is all still guess work and they can fool you with a growth spurt.
He is at the "bad hair" stage. When they first start really growing out it may look a little unruly no matter what. Use a good quality shampoo and make sure to rinse, rinse, and rinse again when you think you've rinsed enough. That downy baby hair can trap the shampoo in and that may be what is resulting in those little white flakes. If you think the flakes are just dry skin, a little remoiturizing with a product like Espree Luxury Remoisturizer or one that works from the inside out like Grizzly Salmon Oil can help with that. As far as the potty training.....I would check for other threads on that topic. I thought I knew what I was doing and then Ben grew up and started marking so we are back to basics again! |
