Isn't the prediction of adult weight really just a good guess based on the information the breeder has about the parents & grandparents? ZoE was the puppy her breeder was planning on keeping. She was expected to be 6lbs. She's now just over a year old and 7.5lbs. She's not fat at all, just a bigger build, definately longer & taller than my last yorkie. Maybe it the better food we are feeding our pups now.
I'm barely 5'5" and I'm taller than my mum & nan, but my daughter is 5'8" and my son 6' 3"....don't now where they get it based on family history either...it's gotta be the food!
