Hi I am new to this forum I am scheduled to pick up my English pure breed male lab and the puppy weight at 7 weeks is only 7.4 the whole litter is roughly this size their are 10 pups everywhere I read it states healthy size is 12 to 14 pounds?
Hi Jennifer, Welcome to the forum! If you take a look at our puppy weight thread you'll see what forum members' puppies weighed at this age. There is a lot of variation at this point and as they grow. You can also find a graph showing the deviation in this puppy growth article.
At 7 weeks Cooper was 6.5 lbs. Full grown she is 77+- and stands 25" at the withers. Cooper was on the small size as a pup, but I don't think I have ever seen a 7 week Lab pup that weighed 12 lbs.
I have a related question. If a puppy in the litter is eating well and healthy but has always been a full pound less that then rest of his litter mates (and smaller all around) do you think it's likely that he'll be a smaller dog when full grown or do the smallest often catch up?
