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.
Thank you for responding. How exciting to be anticipating the arrival of a new furbaby! Looking forward to photos when she arrives.

As for Eva's parents, according to the breeder, the sire weighs 4 1/2lbs, and the dam weighs 5 lbs.
