...much. When I took Ness for his last set of shots he only weighed 2 pounds exactly. But the good thing is we were worried about luxating patellas and he only has a very very slight one in one of his back legs that we will probably never have to worry about.

But anyway his weight has been...
9 weeks 1.2 pounds
12 weeks 1.8 pounds
15 weeks 2.0 pounds

but the breeder told me his parents were between 5 and 6 pounds! Which is the size I was hoping for. I took a closer look at his AKC registration papers and it says the mom was 3.2 pounds

I didn't know parents' weights were on those papers even. Why would the breeder OVER state the mom's weight? I don't want Ness to be ultra fragile his whole life.

Should I be worried?
