Weight isn't everything.
My little guy weighs 12 pounds. And - when he is out and running with his 5 pound neighbor - you'd never guess there is that much difference in their weight.
The little 5 pounder is longer legged - and ooooooooooh so thin - but really as tall as my guy that weighs 12 pounds. My Yorkie is shorter legged - and a heavier dog. He is like a rock. When the vet picked him up, he said "Wow - he's sure a lot heavier than he looks!"
So - it also depends on the build of your dog -
