And it must be stated....she is the sweetest dog ever! I love both my dogs and dogs gone by but I do not remember any of them having this type of calm, loving presence....wow!

Wow! She has certainly grown! She's actually not too far off from where my pup was at 25 weeks. Duchess was 61 lbs. Feel free to keep posting pics!! ;)

She's looking much better! To help with the hold digging, put some of her poop in her fav digging spot and she will leave it alone!

Ok so she is averaging 4.7 lbs per week...28 lbs beg of November and 63lbs end of December.

I realize she is on the small side but is this growth rate average good or below where she should be...

Thanks!

Daisy dog went through all the same funky growth stages. Now at 14 months she has caught up with herself and is filling out. I need to take her to weigh but you can just see where her last rib is when she lays down. I had the same type of pics you did when she was younger with every rib showing. Every dog grows differently. She is adorable. Love the bottom lip in the last pic you posted where she is looking at the camera. :)

Did Kryten spike after 9 months then? Thanks dpenning, she is a sweet heart! I am a bit sad today, we are going out of town and boarding both dogs for 5 days....but they will share a pen which is good, they sure love each other...play a little rough from time to time but whine when separated.

Actually he stalled. His height was constant for 7 weeks and then he grew a 1/4 inch. His weight has fluctuated between 0-4 lbs per week. He is now 11.5 months and going by his breeder has about 90 lbs to grow but will keep growing until he's 5.
