    Well, Back in March 2012 Milli was 4 months old 12.5 inches tall and 12.5 pounds....

    Now Milli is 14 months old and is maybe a bit over 19 inches tall ( at the shoulders) and weighs roughly 40 pounds.

    shes a big healthy sheltie.

    Cooper's Height and Weight

    My 20 week old Cooper is right at 10# and 11 3/4 ". His parents are actually on the smaller side, but he seems about normal for his age. Any thoughts?

    Arwen Height and Weight

    Hi All,

    I am new to the site and to puppy raising, and a bit confused over the size and weight charts. I have a little sable and white girl who at 16 weeks weighed exactly 6 lbs. at the vet. I didn't measure her for height, but as of yesterday (18 weeks), she is 10 inches at the withers. I don't have a scale, so I can't weigh her myself. :rolleyes2:

    From what I can understand (ugh!) of the charts I have seen online, she seems to be undersized. She is a healthy eater, and full of energy....and has completely stolen my and everyone else's hearts! (But who would expect anything less from a Sheltie :wink2:)

    I would really appreciate any thoughts and help offered.

    Cheers!

    Brought Liam in for his rabies shot. I was shocked when he stepped on the scale! He was 28.8 lbs at 7 months! He is 17-3/4 inches tall. The vet said he would still grow more! I knew the breeder said he would be over sized... but, really???
    :gaah

    :woot: Yikes....he's huge! I got a weight on Finnie just last week and he's a trim 23.8 pounds and 16 1/2" at 10 months (in a few days). Do his knuckles still look like he's got more growing to do? Maybe he won't grow much more lol.

    Gezzz, I hope NOT! The vet said he might grow a tad larger... maybe get up to 18 inches... people think he is a smaller collie!
    Also, the vet said his weight is fine for his height and bone structure!

    Not exactly a mini-Lassie then? You're obviously feeding him too well! No more thanksgiving turkey for Liam.

    Actually, he did get very little as I did not want to upset his tummy!
    Here are images of his progression...
    He is almost as tall as Baron!
