First Weight measurement.

Today I weighed the puppies for the first time.  The two smallest pups in the litter are the lightest boys, and the darkest girl.  I will weigh all the puppies again on Sunday afternoon.  When the pups reach  1 week of age, their weight will be a little more meaningful to chart.   It will be important for us to keep track of the weight at least in the smallest pups because we can compare these numbers to those on the Toy Poodle Growth charts.  Then we can make a good prediction to see if they will likely grow to a Toy size.   If any of the people waiting for a Schnoodle have a preference for the toy dog that would be good for me to know.

TOY SCHNOODLE
Height at the shoulder: 20-30 cm (8-12 in)
Weight: 3-6 kg (6-13 lb)

MINIATURE SCHNOODLE
Height at the shoulder: 30-40 cm (12-16 in)
