I always weigh my pups at birthand then every three days as part of making sure their progree is ok. There does seem to be a connection between weight at birth and the final size and weight of the dog when it's full grown.

I've normally raced and bred scratch or heavyweights and pup weights at birth are normaly around the 400g mark. Solo and Amber are both scratch dogs and so I was expecting the same but the pups are smaller and lighter than my previous litters. There doesn't seem anything wrong with them at all; They're fully developed and lively just a bit smaller.

I would appreciate anyone with similar records with lightweights to let me know their weights at birth to help give me an indication as to their final size and weight because I don't think these are going to be scratch dogs . Lol I'll have to work out how weight handicaping works :- " :teehee:

:cheers: Karen, If he's still awake when he gets back then he'd appreciate it. Especially going on the log book he's got here! When he walked in with this big red book I joked was it 'this is your life'? LOL I was close he's got every detail of every pup he's owned going back to Pippa whose 13 years old! (w00t)

These are the weight's of some of the pup's I've bread. Hope it help's a little.

Rose 10oz born running weight 16lb, Lucy 11 oz born 27lb running weight, Amy 11oz born 24lb running weight and Mazie 8 oz born 21lb running weight. don;t think you can tell what weight they'll be. Only 1oz between Rose and Lucy but 10lb different in running weight.

Good luck with the pup's.

[debbie]

the pup that bruce and di got from the greyhound/oscars pride litter was just 3lb 3oz at 6 weeks old and looked to be going to stay on the small side but angel had other ideas . she looks lovely now bruce and di, not sure of her weight now

 

[Paws123]

I told di i thought she would only make about 22lb ...lol sorry di :b

I did hear she nearly pulled di around the greyhound track yesterday lol (w00t)

 

[Tony Taylor]

Thanks for the replies. They'll help me best guess their final sizes and weights :unsure:

I know birth weight does't totaly determine their racing weight. Amber and Jack 7 were the smallest in their respective litters but ended up being the biggest and Solo ( Red Ranger) was the biggest pup I've had at birth, but he was the only one in the litter. However there does seem to be some some correlation between the two.

I have found that weight gain percentages tend to be pretty even across the litter while they are being suckled but once they start to feed for themselves the big ones put on more weight and more as a percentage of their last measured weight.

 

[Paws123]

Have a guess tony at what weight you think each will make and we will see when they are older, should be interesting , maybe wait a few weeks to see there progress before guessing

Like i said i thought Bruce and Di's angel would only be about 22lb lol she is 33lb now and still growing (w00t)

 

[milly]

Just weighed my 2 pups fawn bitch 8lbs 12 black dog 9lbs 14 there 8 weeks.

£10 to anybody who can guess what weight they will be at 12 months old they must be within 1 lb 50 pence to enter
