I am not sure if it is normal, but Barney was supposed to have been a teapot. We purposefully looked for a larger puppy. At 10 weeks, he was 3.4 pounds. He was way off the charts at that time. He is now nearing 6 months and only weighs a little more than 4 pounds. He is tall and lean. We are hoping he will get to around 7 pounds so that he won't appear to be so frail. However, I have read that some puppies can have their growth spurts fairly early and then slow way down.
