How much should a pup weigh??

Well i weighed Marley so i could give him the right amount of food, but ive always thought he is very small for 7 weeks (this is only what the seller told us he is) but he weighs just 1.8kg is this about right for a 7 week old pup??

There isn't really a right or wrong answer to that.

As long as he isn't fat, but isn't a skinny ribs then he's a good weight!

Ah thats good, well his not ribby he has a slight belly as i think he should have, but is certainly not fat x

Got a vague memory that Tommy was about 3kg at 8 weeks so with growth would say thats not bad as Tommy is quite big boned

Morpheus is 4.2kg at 8 weeks.. But he's certainly not fat or underweight.

Amado was 4.2kg at 8 weeks as well, but he's crossed with a Springer Spaniel, so I'm not sure if that changes things much.

That's our guideline as well. They all grow at different rates and hit growth spurts at different times.

Vinnie is 17 weeks now and hes 10kg, i have no idea whether thats "normal" or not but he looks fine lol

Buster is almost 12 weeks old and 6.5 kilos. Not an ounce of fat on him, just plenty if skin to grow into ha ha. Did find an adult weight predictor online, which you could specify breed. Don't know how reliable but Buster came out at around 16 kilos! Steadily been gaining around a kilo a week. Good food, good exercise and let nature do the rest.

Thanks everyone, i have a niggling feeling his not even 7 weeks old yet, even a friend who has had lots of staffie pups saw him today and said he looks younger
I have him on the fish 4 pups food i still give him some puppy milk everyday so in the hope his not quite his age yet im hoping to give him the best start i can, any other advice you can give incase his not quite up to age yet?? x

noah, 3.3kg at 7 weeks

Urghhh so Marley is well smaller than yours his only 1.8kg x

Harv was 6kg at 8 weeks but they are all different. But he is a big lad though
