Some people in this forum have told me that according to their formula she should be 7 or 8 lbs full grown, so I contacted the breeder and asked her what was going on. She said that at 8 weeks my baby girl weigh 1.5lbs and that according to her formula she should weight 4 lbs full grown and the fact that she is 12 weeks and 3 lbs doesn't affect anything.

I am so confused though! She says that her puppies grow fast and then stop growing earlier too. Could that be true? I would never stop loving Malibu but, she wouldn't fit on anything I got her (including her carrier) if she got any bigger than 5 lbs. Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing? has anyone had a puppy that weight 3lbs at 12 weeks and now weighs under 5lbs full grown?

Thank you!

My Monkey was 3.2 lbs at 13 weeks, at 10months he is 6lbs. I feed him quality food, and the recomended portion. He is very healthy. Dont overfeed your dogs.... keep them healthy
