puppy weight
« on: July 21, 2003, 12:04:23 AM »
'Saffy' is now 12 weeks old and she weighs 2.6kg. She was the runt of the litter and she was hand fed for a while as her mother developed mastitis. She has grown considerably in the 4 weeks we've had her.

Can anyone tell me what the normal weight is for a female at 12 weeks?

Lee  - although weight is a good guide, I'd look more to her general health and happiness. If she is eating well, plays and does all the things you'de expect from a puppy - then I wouldn't worry. Some are meant to be tiny. Jasper's sister is about half his size as she was the little one too. ;D Doesn't stop her being a bolshy little madam at times though ;D

Thanks Pammy,'Saffy' was checked at by the vet last Saturday as she had her 2nd injection and he said she looked fine but a bit small. at dog obedience class they reckon shes a guinea pig!!

Hopefully she'll have a growth spurt and catch up to 'Romsey' who was 7.5kg at 16 weeks. He looked more like a polar bear cub when we got him.

Hi Lee

I don't know whether I have just missed the piccie but have you posted one of Saffy recently?? Indie weighed 4.5kg she is 12 weeks also but she is quite big.  I wouldnt worry lee if the vet says she is fine, as long as she is eating and playing, thats all that matters.  

Emma and Indie

PS:  would love to see her pic!!

Hi Lee,
As long as Saffy is eating and seems happy and content then I wouldn't worry too much.  Look forward to seeing her picture :) Linda
