Our mini is 5 months old and is 9 lbs and 12 inches at the shoulders... is this normal growth for a male mini..?

Your guy sounds pretty normal, although it sounds like he may get into the "oversized mini" category. He has just 3 " to go before he's at the height limit for a true mini, and he's only 5 mo. Trev was 14.5" at 8 or 9 mo, then somewhere between then and 15 mo he gained 2"...it was so gradual I didn't notice it until one day I decided to measure him. He's now 18 mo, 16.5" at the shoulder and 16.5-17 lbs, depending on how much exercise and food he gets. (not that i skip meals or anything...some weeks he gets more snacks than others. ;)) I wish he were a little heavier but alas, I guess I must accept that he's never going to gain much weight. I can literally feed him any amount, the only thing that happens is more clean up in the yard. :-/
