In terms of her health;it is great that at 6mths old there has been no overt problem. Until your dog has passed at least 5yrs old - you will not know if you dodged the many genetic problems of this breed - and or structural problems. She might put on another 8oz or so if you keep her fit and feed the appropriate amount of food. There are a few lines that will spurt in growth and weight during the time frame of 6-12 months old.

But I will say with a pup this small you have to be extra carefull with activities of daily life. No leaping off couches or beds etc.
