Chloe weighs 2.1 pounds at her 8-week checkup. She is a little butterball. Fat little tummy. The vet estimates she will be about 5 pounds full grown. Does that seem right? I heard you have to triple it by 8 weeks to get an estimate. Her mom weighed 3.5 and her dad weighed only 3. So, it looks like she will be bigger than her parents. She was the biggest of the 3 puppies. Chloe was 5 ounces bigger than her sister at her checkup. The male was the runt of the litter. Chloe has a really good appetite, but we are not overfeeding her. She eats Science Diet Puppy bites and she gets 3 small feedings a day. We are going by exactly what the vet says. I love her to pieces no matter what size she gets.
