Hi All - I'm new to this site. I'm pretty sure everyone has wonder about the size of their pup. Well, my little boy is 4 months 3 days old today and he weights 3 lb 4 oz. When I bought him, I was told he was going to be small. So the big questions are....
When do they stop growing?
How can you tell how big your puppy will be?

Well you take the weight at twelve weeks and double it and it will give you an approximate weight. You can also get a growth chart by doing a search and put in growth chart. tried to copy one and it wouldnt let me.

Were can I get this chart?

chachi · 12-23-2005, 01:14 PM

Go to the search its on the blue bar under your name at the top. Put in growth chart.

Cali was 1 lb at 10 weeks and she is 6 months today and weighs 3 1/2 lbs. She hopefully will get to 4-5 lbs. I woudl guess yours will be at least 5 lbs.

Zoe's size doesn't show up for her age on there. She must be part great dane

Mimo15 · 12-23-2005, 01:25 PM

I don't see his size for his age either. But I kind of have an idea. Thank you all!

How big is Chachi? I went to his dogster and saw he was 3lbs6oz at 12 weeks. Zoe is 3lbs5oz.

Well I wouldnt compare your dog to Chachi because he way grew past what he was supposed to be according to the weight chart. He is 9 llbs now.He was a little over a lb at 8 weeks and thats when I checked the weight chart on him. Boy did he grow.

Did he grow alot each week or did he have a big growth spurt? I was wondering because Cali is 6 months old and weighed 3 1/2 lbs and was 1 lb at 10 weeks and her growth has been pretty steady I was hoping for her to put on another pound or so before I have her spayed, but at 6 months she seems to be slowing down in her growth.
