Will do... I will relax and trust him. Wish I had more patience! Which I'm failing at practice. It's hard when my 6 year old daughter states in the morning, I want a puppy so bad and I'm telling her we need to wait until after New Years! lol

the question of litters weighing 14 ounces at 2 weeks.... I personally think the puppy growth charts are a joke but it is alarming if one looks at a chart and it doesn't even register 14 ounces at 2 weeks..lol

Have you ever heard of any breeders mentioning that size of pup at two weeks that has standard size dogs? Do they just slow down growing so fast? I read somewhere that depending on the amount in the litter and sharing of milk could also determine how large the pup is while nursing and then when introduced to regular kibble, the growth tappers down.

I just want to make sure.

Thank you
