I don't see how anyone can tell what a dog is going to weigh. My husband breeds Field Champion Beagles. We can breed two 13 inch dogs (that is the class they show in), when the pups are ready to sell, people will ask, "how big do you think they will be"? All my husband can do is tell them the size of the parents. More than once, we have had people call and bring the dog back because it grew to 17 inches and cannot be shown. They make good hunting dogs at that size but that's about all.

I have got so I hold my breath every time I take Ceeby to the vet. I purchased him for a "tiny". last week I took him in to be weighed on his birthday and he already weighed 3 pounds. Yesterday, I took him in because he has been sick and not eating. Guess what? He weighed 3.4. That is after days of not eating and vomiting and diarreha. he will be six months old soon and if he doesn't slow down he might get to six or seven pounds. He is very thin.
