Biscuit was 5.8kg at 16 weeks which I thought was a lot as he's not very tall. However, I guess most of the weight is in the body and not the legs! At 21 weeks he is now 7.7kg! He gains 300g every week. You really have to go by how Rigby feels. if he feel quite lean and you can feel his ribs then he sounds ok.

They grow very fast in the first 4-6 months and then should slow down after that. They say that if you double their weight at 16 weeks, that is likely to be close to their eventual adult weight. They are also supposed to have reached 60% of their height too. So if that's correct, Biscuit will be approx 14" tall and approx 10k-11kg.

:O Dexter was 4.6kg last week at just 12 weeks - I'm quite surprised, as Mother was a very petite working Cocker Spaniel, and Dad a 14" Miniature Poodle!

He's super lean, and you can feel his ribs, so I don't think we're over-feeding him, I'm just quite surprised at his weight already as I am expecting him to be around the same size as our older Cockerpoo Bailey. He's 15" and a little overweight at 11kg (10kg ideal weight).

He put on 1kg between 10-12 weeks, so I can imagine he'll potentially be a little bigger than Bailey when he's older!
