My pup was eight weeks old and nine ounces when I brought him home. His breeder said he would be three or four pouns grown. Both his parents were under four pounds. Won't say how much cause i don't want people to get on a roll today. Anyhow, she only had one momma that was even five pounds. no other dogs close to that size. WELLLLLL, at twelve weeks i took him to the vet to be weighed and he weighed 1.7 which according to the chart puts him at just under three pounds grown. he is four and a half months old now and last week when he was sick and at the vet, he already weighed 2.6. Now that he is well and eating I am sure it is more. so what does this tell you? YES, I am disappointed because he is not going to be the tiny guy I wanted but do I love him any less. A resounding No way!!!!!. besides my grandkids, he is the joy of my life and even if he reaches ten pounds (which I hope he don't. I will still love him. I am not upset at the breeder at all. My husband breeds beagles and there is just no real way to know for sure what a pup will weigh when grown. Only problem I am having is I have a female coming from this lady in the next couple of months and now i am thinking I will not be able to breed her to Ceeby when he is old enough because she will be too small.
