| I think the general rule of thumb is to double the 12 week weight to get an idea of the adult weight, so Buttercup would be about 6 pounds which I think is a nice size...

| Around 6 lbs but you can't guarantee anything. I have one that was 3 lbs at 8 weeks, and now at 9 months is only 5.5 lbs. Then I have another who only 1 lb at 8 weeks and is 5 lbs at 1 1/2 years old. |

| Lacy was slightly over 3lbs at 12 weeks of age. She is now 7.5lbs

| My vet told me to take Riley's weight at 4 months which was 4 lbs 7 oz and double it...so he will be around 9 pounds most likely...the breeder had guessed him to be around 5 so I guess she may have been wrong...thats ok though because I don't mind a dog a little bigger...easier to catch!

| Six pounds like a good guess to me. Piper's 6 lbs. and he's just right.

| The general rule is triple the weight at 8 weeks, double the weight at 12 weeks. But, as a few others have said...it is not always accuracte. At 12 weeks of age my gracie was just under 3 lbs, now at one year old she is just 3lbs 4oz. and I should say she is healthy and round, her bone structure just didn't get much bigger. Here is a pic of her back then and now...you can see her "size" didn't change much... For example, MyFairLacy's weight was just over 3lbs., my girl Gracie was just under 3lbs. and their adult weight is verry different from eachothers, 7 1/2lbs compared to 3 1/4 lbs. I should also say that I used the double the weight at 12 weeks mehod, to choose my Gracie and did not get what I had expected. But I love her just as much
