Especially if it was 6 lbs to begin with. That being said I do agree that some breeders use that as an excuse in case the puppies go over, and that way they can blame the new puppy owner.

I think I agree with what you said but there are always the exceptions. I eat 5 times a day..ice-cream, chips besides my meal and I am 42kg and 5ft 2" so some of it gotta be genetic.
