Lots of breeders say that the mother is 5 pounds and the dad is 3. I think they say this so that the person buying the dog will think the grown pup will be between those two sizes. A good breeder knows that's not how it works. Many good breeders breed a 7 pound mom to a 6 pound dog and end up with 4 pound grown adults, it just depends on the line. Did you actually see the parents? Anyway, an estimate of your dogs grown adult weight would be to double the 12 week weight and add or subtract a pound. So I would guess Chloe would be around 10 pounds as a grown adult, which is still very small for a dog. |
