Last Saturday the puppies were officially 4 weeks old. That morning I weighed and recorded all the weights of the puppies. The weights at this age are important because they will give us a good idea of the puppies adult size. I like to compare the puppy weights to the puppies from past litters to get an idea of their mature weight..
At 4 weeks old, Maya from last years litter, weighed about 2.3 lbs....the same as Blaze. Maya has matured to an adult weight of 18 lbs. On the other hand, Copper from our 2012 litter, was a bit larger weighing in at 2.5 lbs....the same as Cheetos. Copper has matured to 22 lbs as an adult.
Of course, I cannot guarantee these adult weights. However, they are a good estimate.
Here are all the puppies listed in order of their size:
Blaze: 2.3 lbs ..... 18 lbs
Lucky: 2.3 lbs
Charlie: 2.4 lbs
Biscuit: 2.41lbs
Cheetos: 2.5 lbs
Dante: 2.7 lbs ...... 23 lbs
These predictions are consistent with the weight of the parents.
Bart the Poodle Stud weighs 18 lbs, and Dixie the Schnauzer Mom weighs 23 lbs.
