I'm not a seasoned breeder lol but I will say there have been lots of threads about the growth chart and it seems like you shouldn't put too much stock in them. Personally my girl followed it but for females I would give about a pound of wiggle room bc they may gain weight after their spay. Luma did. There could be late bloomers...the runt of the litter can end up the biggest, or a pup may decide to stop growing before they reach the weight they charted. The best weight indication would be what the dam and sire weighed. Do you know what the parents weighed?

My 8 week old that is still with her breeder has been charting to end up 5.5 lbs but I'm okay with her ending up a little bigger than that.
