    Che will be 4 full months on Jan 30 so that makes him about 18 weeks
    well at the vet today he weighted 22,7 lbs and he probably full 15" at the withers... so we are going to be well oversized... not overweight though, we are watching closely ribs are easily felt and tummy tuck is well defined
    he had major spur of growth between 10- 14 week but never went into gangly ugly duckling look, now it seems he is getting much less growth but more maturity
    he does have sturdy complection, muscular legs and large paws...

    I didn't forget I would post Fluffy's stats. I've just been busy trying Smudge out on the new grooming table. She's 16 weeks and weighs 8.3 pounds, but I haven't measured how tall yet. She's about the same size as Smudge was at the same age. Smudge didn't start growing a lot until he was 5 months. Then he became ultra sheltie. :eek2:

    Buffy was less than 4 pounds when the vet weighed her at 9 weeks. She did most of her growing around 5–6 months. In the last two months she has not grown much or gained weight, but her coat has doubled.

    Now she is:
    Age: 8 months
    Height: about 12.5 inches (I'm bad at measuring though)
    Weight: 11 pounds

    Silly question, do you put them in a sit to measure the shoulder or just measure them as they stand on all 4's naturally? I know Kai'a will be small, she is at almost to 14 weeks and is only 5.3 pounds.
