This is Stella she is nine weeks old had worms and Garda when we took he to the vet so we are fixing that of course . But she only weighed in at 4 lbs 11 oz was told she was a full size thinking maybe part mini

Liam was 2.1kg when I picked him up he was 8 weeks with some regular feeding of a good quality food Stella will start gaining weight

Snaxx

We feed her blue puppy food and lots of love she has one mean bite and like shoe laces so much it’s almost impossible to walk any suggestions

At 9 weeks old she should have been at least 3X that weight. The worms certainly played a factor on her weight and health. Many times this can stunt their growth and development as well.
It's sad when breeders lack the knowledge and dedication to care for the litters they produce.

With proper feeding Liam was gaining a kilo a week,he is 22 weeks now and weighs 19 kg

Snaxx

any tips on getting her to not bite shoelaces she makes it very hard to walk

When we picked up Auggie she as 10 weeks old and 10 pounds, she has been gaining a pound a week the vet said that at 6 weeks that will go to 1/2 a pound, but his week she is not eating all her food and is starting to slim down. The vet also said that what they weight at 16 weeks doubled is what they will weigh as an adult. Our 5 year old MBT did exactly that as a puppy at 16 weeks she was 15 pounds and she is 30 pounds now and maintains that easily

That should read at 16 weeks she will drop to 1/2 a pound a week **
