| Puppy weight My Reece is 16 weeks old and he weighs 4 lbs. and 14 oz. I looked at the chart that is on YT and I think he is going to be about 7 lbs. Does that sound right? Do you think he will get bigger than that? The only reason I care is because I want him to be able to go everywhere with me and I am afraid if he is close to 10 lbs he won't be able to fit in a carrier. Has anyone else had a baby this big at this age? How big did your baby end up being? |

| I'm not too much help, mine are smaller than that. However, if you know his weight at twelve weeks you could double that and that would be close to his grown-up weight.

| I woulden't go by the chart, it really doesn't work in my opinion. Poptart was the same, he was 4 pounds, (I can't remember the ounces), at 16 weeks. He was suppost to be alot bigger too. He only got to 6 pounds. Trixie was suppose to be 12 + but she stopped at 9 pounds. She is bigger than the others but she fits in the carriers perfectly. They have carriers that will hold up to a 12 pound dog and they are still small to carry around and cute. It is nearly impossible to guess their weight, he could end up bigger or he could stay small. So far all of mine have had big growth spurts and started growing fast, I thought they were going to be huge, but by 6 months they were completely done growing. They were all fast growers were they grew alot in a short time but then stopped growing early. Just watch his growth and see how much he gains and how long it took him to gain it. If he did go by the chart, he would be in the 7-8 pound range which is still small. But there is still a chance he could stay small. Sorry I am not much help.
