I have a question?
I was wondering how do you figure out what her weight will be? If she is 5 months old and already weighs 2 lbs 6 oz why do you think by a year old she would not have gained more than 6 more ounces. I am just wondering, not trying to start a fight... my penny was just at 2 lbs 4 ounces at 6 months and now she weighs a whopping 10 lbs. She is not over fed and runs and plays all the time but still weighs in at 10lbs.
Wouldnt you want to keep her a while longer to see if she does add on some more weight and then you could show or breed her... she is just beautiful! | There is no definite way to figure out what they will weigh as an adult. There are puppy weight charts that will help to make a guesstimate and from there you just have to base your guess on what you know as well as their weight gain thus far. Daisy started off as the bigger puppy in the litter but has been very slow to gain weight. We were really hoping that she would get big enough, but based on what we have seen thus far we don't think that she will. Because we really do not think that she will, we do not want to hold her for over a year just to have to rehome her. We feel that the puppy time is an important bonding time for both the puppy and the new family. If she were gaining weight faster and there was more of a possibility, we would probably hold her a bit longer to see. Regardless, we will be holding her until the perfect home presents itself as that is the least that we owe this little girl.
It definitely sounds like your little girl hit a few big growth spurts. While all puppies are different, I would say that the majority do not hit such large spurts. Quote:
