My girl is 8 months (will be 9 this month) and last weighed at about 10 lbs at the vet and since finding out she has luxating patellas, my vet pointed out something I already knew, that she was actually a little chunky monkey :P She was also inactive for awhile after her spade surgery in Dec. so the doc pretty much feels getting her slimmed down some and strengthening her legs will help alot to avoid surgery in the future but to still keep an eye on her, too. Her mom was 8lbs and her dad was 5lbs (she's got a long body/legs and very fine bones) both were so cute, I'm thinking 8lbs is her ideal weight and the vet agreed. She started slimming down fairly quickly and was doing great but then I noticed she was fattening back up some (and the leg issue came back) and found my mother did keep feeding her treats and made sure she ate her dry kibble (a whole day's worth in one sitting). Had to get on to her about that, but I think we are all on the right track now.
So yea, I'd say at about 8lbs is where she should be right now. Amazing what 2 lbs does on her (she was a little sausage on sticks at the vet when she was weighed ), but now she's gradually showing a slender waist (and a little bit of loose skin ^^;;;..)
