I'm confused I thought that my dog would be at least 20 pounds at 14 weeks it seems like everyone else is puppy is huge. Othello is 14 weeks old and is 13 pounds is that small? he's tall but he's slim his mother is 22 inches tall and 45 pounds his father is 25 inches tall and 70 pounds he was not the runt. I met all the puppies. I don't know, is he under weight or is he right on schedule and he's the perfect picture of health with no complications.

What does your vet say? Also it's not just how large or small the sire and dame are, the size of the 'grandparents', nutrition and enough sleep all play a role in growth. As long as your puppy is healthy and energetic I wouldn't worry too much. My girl is six months old today and seems smaller than either of her parents. Hemi is growing and busy, busy, busy eating acana and getting enough rest so I figure she will be fine and I will love her no matter what size she ends up.

This is the first time I've ever heard of anything from Texas being small. :act-up:

He may wind up being a little more petite or like you say, he could catch up. Sometimes it works that way. If he's in great health, is happy and bouncy, that is good.
