I don't think people really know what the weight will be full grown but some puppies put it on early and other don't. You can get an idea from the parents but even then, like with my Chloe, you can't tell. I think you should be able to feel the ribs and then after that there should be an indented area. If you can't feel the ribs, there could be a little weight problem. Try giving small pieces of Cheerios and sliced apple for treats instead of a treat with higher fat content.
