Default might not the in the right Thread....

Odin is now 14 weeks and he weighs about 2kg (4.4lb). The breed is supposed to be around the 7lb mark (more or less) and now i am worried that he will be waaaaay over the breed target. I do not really mind, yet that will limit the (necessary) air-travel. The bigger he is the more expensive the ticket and i travel a lot! (plus he would be put in the cargo if he is bigger than a certain weight) I would go crazy if they did that! I would never take that risk! Its cold and he would be alone, in the dark! I heard they do not do well when separated with the owner and I am worried that he will suffer. Is it a normal weight at that young age? his legs also seem kind of long to me. I am used to big dogs and their growth rate is different. Should I take him to the vet? I think i overfed him (though i only gave him what the pack says(-) some to replace with treat). I give him apple,chicken breast popcorn(home made-1-2 pops), bio calcium bones and 2 other types of snacks, and low cal royal edu kibble. I alternate what i give. I really want him to be my shadow and never leave my side so that is why i was gifted a Yorkie. Now I want more!!!!!! I really love him and would never want to harm him. So again is it normal that he weighs so much at that age? Or is he just a bigger guy and I need to take some kind of measures(travel, kennel, babysitter etc)? Or worse am I harming him by overfeeding?
