Thanks everyone. I never expected to be raising a puppy but he is turning out to be such a fantastic lovable "little" guy, worth all the extra work and puppy destruction. I love watching him grow up and become more doggy than puppy. When I snuggle him and tell him how wonderful he is, he looks at me with his "love eyes." I think most, if not all of you know what I mean.
SilkyMama, he is definitely very muscular...well, maybe more pudgy, but very solid. His paws are still large for his current size. Definitely not a dainty dog at all!
Mercgirl, he was actually 10.5 pounds at 6 months when he had his "operation", I had guessed 11. I just had his stitches removed this past weekend, two weeks later and he has gained another pound. This chart puts him around 12-13 pounds full grown which I think might be a bit on the light side. However, he does seem to be a little chunky right now.
I'm glad they come in all shapes and sizes. I visualized having two about the same size and appearance. Now I enjoy the differences.
My only issue, two expensive extra small (up to 10 lbs) sliding glass dog doors purchased before I realized how big he would be. So far he fits through, but... |
