Hi and welcome to YT! You definitely came to the right place.

I have to agree with previous posters. You can't tell what a pup will be when it's first born. Too many factors at play. You can take a look at both parents but then that's no guarantee your pup will be their size. Like I said...too many factors!

Our pup was just under 3 lbs. at three months and at 4 months, is only 3 lbs. 2 oz. Parents were 5 and 5.5 lbs. They all grow at their own pace and will reach the size they are supposed to be. Don't be worried about your puppy's weight just be sure to free feed and your puppy will eat what's needed and that's all. No such thing as an overweight puppy!

Good luck and we are glad you decided to join us. Congrats on your new baby and again...welcome!!
