Gracie grew past her first birthday. She attained her frame size at about 11 months but then put on some more weight until she was about 14 months. I guess she was a slow grower. He normal weight is about 5lbs though she gained 4oz last winter. We have been doing lots of walking so she is back down to 5lbs even. Some have growth spurts while others grow slow and steady.
There were only 2 puppies in Gracie's litter and Gracie was quite a bit smaller than her sister was. She never lacked in energy or terrier personality though. I have seen runts that ended up being the largest of the litter so it is very hard to estimate an adult size by birth weight or even the size at 3 months.
I just fell for Gracie as soon as I saw her. Her sister was actually a strikingly beautiful puppy but Gracie just had that something in eyes. |
