my experience has been that they are slightly larger than the chart. i would estimate your pup to get about 6 or 7 pounds, but i have heard of those that don't grow past 6 months (mine all grew up to 1 year) so that would make them smaller. my new baby girl is 2 1/2 pounds at 3 months and she is bigger than my others that stayed at 4 pounds. i am thinking she will get to be at least 5 pounds, probably 6.
i have a girl that weighs 4 pounds 12 oz. and a boy that weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces and she actually looks smaller than the boy.
if the breeder is being honest and she has kept in touch with previous litters she is probably the best person to give an estimate, but like others have said a honest breeder will only give an estimate not a absolute. |
