Puppy weight

Hey folks!

Another newbie here.

I got my puppy when he was 7 weeks old and my best friend got his sister. He was staying with them until I got my house sorted so they were getting fed the exact same at the exact same time of day every day.

When we took them to get their first jabs and micro chipped they were 9 weeks and 3 days old; they both weighed at 4.5kg. We took them back exactly two weeks later when they were 11 weeks and 3 days, Taffy (the sister) weighed 5.7kg but my boy, Vinnie, shot up to 6.1kg!!

Is 6.1kg a normal weight for a 12 week old puppy?!

Do you mean kilograms and not pounds?
Spud was 6.9 kg when he was 10 weeks, he got weighed today 12kg at 16 weeks. :O

As long as they are healthy and eating/eliminating normally, I wouldn’t worry. They all grow at different paces. Welcome!

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me,

Sorry not too sure about weights

A lot of the puppies who`s weight i have seen posted are a lot heavier than Lula but i don`t worry as she eating and in good health.
They all grow at different rates as other have already said

enjoy your little furbaby

They all grow at diff weights I wouldn't be concerned, as long as they are happy & healthy My boy was 6kg at 3 mths & is nearly 12kg now at 5 months.

As already said they grow at different rates, I wouldn't worry x

Weight sounds ok.

Nothing is consistent or "normal" in the first year. All growth rates seem to be different. 1 week you think "too skinny, is it a Staff?" next week " too fat, is it a Bulldog?", then "too tall, is it a great dane?". It all balances in the end. Be patient.

I give that advice from experience to everyone on this site, then when I have Barney weighed I come here and ask "is his weight OK?" Human insecurities lol

Howdy from Jed and I, my little boy is 5 months old and weighs 11.2 kg, all dogs are different, sounds like yours is doing just fine   

Welcome from Darcy and me it's perfectly normal for them to all be different shapes and sizes and dogs are usually heavier than bitches too don't worry.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes and advise!
Its fairly put my mind as ease x

this is my little guy

His sister and him

Aw they are gorgeous    

beautiful dogs and welcome

Toot's weighed about the same as Taffy at that age. Her brother is much heavier. So don't worry   

Welcome from Bane and I It sounds similar to Bane if I remember correctly! They look gorgeous!

Awww, they are both adorable    

Aww thankyou everyone!
