A question about size. Hello everyone! I am so excited, my mom is getting a femal puppy from the same breeder as my Bridget. The mom of the new baby is Bridget's half sister, and they have the same dad. Sorry it probably sounds funky but there is no cross breeding, Bridget and her sister have the same mom but diffrent dads, and then Bridgets dad was used to sire this litter. Anyways...My question is that this puppy was the only one in the litter, and the breeder says right now she looks like a potbellied pig, ( she is a porker) since she doesnt have the competition. Is it possible that even though her parents are 5 and 3 lbs she could be super huge like 10-15 lbs. My brother has my mom worried because she is big this early, I told her not to worry, since it should not effect her long term size. I figure about 4, is there anyone that has experiance with this to help me out. BTW, my mom says she will love the dog be it 2 or 22 lbs, it is just a curiosty, and to shut my baby brother up...LOL :D |
I doubt she will be 12 -15 pounds . I have seen single pups in litter and they never were big as adults . |
I'ts always possible but most of the time she should be about the size of the momand dad! lily |
I figured that would be the case, but I wasnt sure. So they parents are a good indicator right, that way I can tell Ivan to knock it off!...lol |
One of my girl had only one pup in a litter . The baby was small as an adult . |
My Phebe had just one little guy her last litter. He was indeed a little "pot bellied pig" He got all the milk!!! I do not think he is going to be a monster though. He certainly was a little rollie pollie though during his early weeks- it was too cute. He was so fat that his legs used to stick straight out! |
yes, that is basically what she looks like, all fat and round and just cute as a button! |
How much soes she weigh now? I'm not saying that she will end up 10-15 lbs but you don't know what her grandparents or great grandparents weighed, do you. Dogs are like people in some ways. You would have to look way back to be positive that she would be small. My friends dog just had one puppy also, he was fat but not huge! Look at the weight charts and take in consideration that he is fatter than the normal puppy. I have three puppies, one tiny, one medium, and one larger. The larger one is 2.2 lbs already, (4 1/2 weeks old) he isn't even on the weight charts. But mom is 8lbs and dad is 5. Will he be big, who knows for sure. I'll tell you one thing, he is BEAUTIFUL! |
