Bentley my male Chihuahua is 8 weeks old and weighs 11 ounces. He is very tiny and his breeder tells me has a tiny body...His parents are 3.4 and 3.5 pounds. How much would you say he will weigh fully grown?
Thanks
PS~ Emma comes home tomorrow!!!! We are so excited to get her! I will post pictures as soon as I get home with her!!! =D
@BuddysMummyx Your chi will probably be around 3 - 3 1/2 pounds fully mature...but it really depends on the parents weights, and also on how much he is gaining each week. I would get a scale and weigh him at the same time once a week, and see what he gains each week. If he is going to be on the smaller side he will only gain 1 ounce a week, but if he has larger parents and will grow more than his charted weight then he will probably gain 2-3 ounces a week. Usually if the parents are both 4 lbs + you shouldn't expect your puppy to stay 2 1/2 pounds. But if the parents are genetically small, and your puppy has a slow growth weight he could possibly weigh around 2 1/2 pounds fully mature.
My female Chi (Emma) right now is 7 months old and weighs 2 pounds 15 ounces...she will probably make it to 3.5-3.6 pounds fully mature... My male Chi (Bentley) is currently 17 weeks and 18 ounces..He has small parents and a very small frame himself...although he isn't even charting 2 pounds he should weigh right at 2 - 2.5 pounds fully mature.
My chighuahua has put on so much weight since she was spayed. She used to be a size S or XS in our clothing a Pooch Pooch, but now she's sometimes a Medium!!! Her harness doesn't ebven fit!
