How heavy at 6 months?
« on: August 13, 2010, 09:07:42 PM »
We had Gracie weighed at the vets this week- she is 6 months- and was 13.35 kilos- does this sound about right?

13.3kg sounds heavy for a 6 month old but they're all different, it really depends how big she is in general. How tall is she? Rodaidh's 3 and a half and he's 13.5kg, he's 15.5" to the shoulder. Pups can carry a bit of extra puppy fat but as they start to get their adult shape you want to be able to feel their ribs and see a waist, as long as you can do that and she doesn't look podgy then I wouldn't worry too much.

It sounds heavy to me as Freya is a year and 8.5kg but like Nicola says they vary in height and general size so much, maybe shes just going to be a big girl  :luv:

Ah! :005: That sounds a lot more 'normal' for her age, I was thinking she must be a very big puppy :lol2:

What a pretty girl  :luv: - would be very difficult to deny her anything - even if it were for her own good

Sounds ok then- we can keep comparing notes. The breeder that I got her from has quite compact dogs  but her dad had been brought in I think he is Lynwater.

From the picture Gracie looks a lot like her litter sister  :luv:

(She was at the show with us last week and I could of been persuaded to bring her home quite easily  ;))

Charlie has Lynwater in his pedigree, quite far back though. Great, great, great grandparents I think  :blink:
