Monitoring a puppy's weight

Daisy May joined the family a couple of weeks ago aged 8 weeks and weighed 5.8 kgs. She is a somewhat erratic feeder - occasionally clearing her bowl of the recommended quantity, but often as not leaving variable amounts. She is on a three meal a day regimen. Yesterday at 10 weeks she weighed 7.5 kgs. Does anyone know of a weight guide for OES puppies so that I can monitor her development against recognised norms?

Welcome to the forum. :D Congratulations on your new puppy. :D Do you have pictures of Daisy May that you can share with us?? We love puppy pictures!! :D

I don't know of a chart per se, but I do remember from when Beaureguard was a puppy, that he averaged 10 lbs per month. I'm terrible at converting to kilograms from pounds. :oops:
Hello and welcome to the forum.

I don't know of any charts but your vet should be able to tell you if she is "normal" when she goes for her jabs.

They may be able to tell you how much to expect her to gain each month.
My Sami is a slender oes and weights around 60 lbs at a year old, as a pup she was she was 9.4 pounds at 8 weeks, at 12 weeks was 16.1 lbs at 16 weeks was 26 lbs and at 9 months was 50 lbs. Our Blue now totally different, He was 16 lbs when we got him 12 weeks 28 lbs and at 16 weeks he was 42 lbs. He is alot stocker and is not going to be a slender build dog. He does not eat more then Sami just a different build. And the vet was not concern at all about either one. Look at parents and you can have a good quess. Our breeder seen pics of Sami and she told me she looked like her grandmother all the way. Blue parents are both stocker.
Our breeder said they can grow at different rates, our puppy was 7.6kg at 10 weeks, hope that helps.
Thank you all for your comments

I'm a first-time sheepie mommy and I'm interested in how fast puppies grow, too. My Dumbbell went to the vet last week, 14 weeks old, and weighed 35 pounds. When he first came home with us at 10 weeks old, he was 15 pounds. At 12 weeks, he was 24 pounds. However, he's still on the skinny side as I can feel his ribs pretty easily. He's definitely growing faster than I expected. I wonder how big he'll get.
