at 8-9 weeks peanut was 1.5 so he was charted to be about 4 or 4.5 if i remember right. now at 15 weeks he is 3.8 and he is off the chart.. so who knows how big he is gonna be. it is weird though i saw a 5 pound chi at the vet that was like 5 times peanuts size.. and i was like there is only a little over a pound difference, and that dog was a lot bigger. and then i saw a min pin today at the park that was 3 months old and about 3.5 pounds, and she looked way smaller then peanut. so i guess dogs are like people they carry their weight differently too

I think half the time it is accurate and the other half it isn't. Breeding dogs has so many facters. The different lines the pair come from, etc. etc. You can breed a large female with a small male and still get huge puppies. You can breed two 6 pounders and end up with very tiny puppies. IT is a hit or miss. Once you have bred a particular pair you have a better idea of what those two together will produce. The charts have been wrong for all my dogs, every one. My first Chihuahua was charting for 7 pound adult, he is 10. My second female was charting for 5 pound adult, she is 7 pounds. My first female was charting for 6 pound adult and she ended up at 4 pounds. My third female is charting as a 5 pound adult but is only 3.65 pounds at 8 months. My second male is charting at a 5 pound adult and only 2 pounds at 4 months. So it is a crap-shoot in my opinion.

update its been 2 weeks since peanut was at the vet, and we just weighed him on my moms scale, and he is the same as he was at the vets. so he hasnt grown any in 2 weeks.. (even if the scales are diff. he might have grown a little- his growth has majorly slowed down. he was gaining over a pound every three weeks.

Rylie is almost 12 weeks, and at 1.6lbs, but the weight chart hasn't seemed to be accurately measuring her. Right now she falls between 3.5 and 4lbs full grown according to the chart. Her parents were 4 and 5lbs. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I have a question. my puppy is almost 7 weeks old and he weight 0.7 k right now how big is that? and how big will he be full grown? thanks

0.7kg = 24.69oz

According to the chart, your pup should be between 5 and 5.5 lbs.

The chart is not 100% accurate though
