Hi again, as I said in my intro. I will be getting Vinny on Friday. I am just wondering if anyone has seen the "puppy development" page on the bhejei.com website? The pups on there ended up being in the 4lb range as adults. I thought that their weight each week was what it should be at, until I started reading more about Maltese. From what my breeder is sending me, Vinny is almost the same weight as those pups each week. He was 1 1/2lbs at 5 weeks, 1 3/4lbs at 6 weeks (7 inches from his neck to the base of this tail) and he told me today (7weeks) he is close to 2 lbs and 7 1/4 inches long. I expect Vinny to probably be in the 6 or 7 lb category. His mom is 5lbs and his dad 6 lbs. This is the mother dog's first litter and he is a singleton. He is pretty chubby, I don't know if that would be the cause of his weight (being the only pup). This isn't a concern, I am just curious, while I am counting down the days waiting for him to come home. I guess I am just looking for your opinions and experience and a chance to post.
