Most of the Maltese dogs on Dogster.com all have the same weight 1.10. Is this a coincidence or is it that they are all shy of their weight ? Pixie is 8 months old, what should her correct weight be.?
maltese standard for full grown dogs is 6-8lbs or something. in the dogster website...people are putting 1-10lbs. because their dogs fall in that weight class. when sprite and ellie were 8 months old...they were around 3-4 lbs. i think. full grown they're 5.6 lbs and 7.8 lbs.
As I said Pixie is 8 months old and I weighed her on the bathroom scales the other day and she came in at just over 6lbs. I must buy a digital scales because the standard one might not be that accurate. A small bit concerned about her weight she may be a small bit over weight.
Casper is 5 months old and the the last time he went to the vet he weighed 5 lbs. 8 oz. He goes to the vet tomorrow, and I want to get him weighed. I think he feels abut the same as last time, though.
The only thing to worry about would be if they are a healthy weight. You want them to be not fat, or too thin. The size they grow to be in height will determine that. Of course if you are showing there is a limit.
Frosty varies between 10-11 lbs. and not an oz. of fat on him. He's just a big boy.

She’ll stay with Belle and me till her forever family is fixed (the shelter is currently reviewing 2 families). Within a week or fortnight they should have a family.
She gets along very well with Belle, but she’s scared of me. When I give...
I hate it when Bailey isn't feeling well...which is not too often, luckily. But he is sick right now and I could really use some advice. Monday night, he started pacing back and forth and crying to go outside (not normal for him)...I took him out and he had a really loose stool. That day, he had...
I didn't want to hijack Baileysmommy Sad Story thread, but it did get me to wonder. This past weekend I had to get re-certified for CPR and first aid. During the class infants, and dogs were discussed in reference to CPR, how to breath for them, and choking.
I was wondering how many members out...
We need to stop this! The problem is that Snowball is 8 years old and is the sweetest dog you ever saw! EVERYONE loves him and that is the problem. Sometimes they will try to pet him and he is OK. At other times he is still nice and adorable but when a person gets too close he will bark and go...
Question about heartworm preventive medicine? Anyone on here not using heartguard or interceptor etc and just going with all natural products? I am trying to decide if I should give my 17 week old puppy heartguard or interceptor or just trying to go the all natural route. What are your thoughts?
