Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hello everyone,
I'm slightly concerned about my puppys' weight. She's almost 8 weeks old and only weighs 6.8 pounds. Is this normal? I've been searching the forum and it looks many puppies were in the 10 pound range at her age. |

| How many other puppies are in the litter? Do you know how big they are? It could be that she was born of a slow growing line and that they start small and catch up later. If she was part of a large litter as well she could be behind in her growth because of over competition. For the most part as long as she is eating well, pooping well, and has energy she will grow at whatever rate that works with her genetic line. Being on the light side is far better for her than being a chubby puppy. _________________ ![Super runt? Huskyf10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f72/18/49/47/07/huskyf10.png) |

| When we got Gabby she was 7.5 lbs. She had Brothers in her litter that were almost 14 lbs. At 3 years old, she weighs around 37-40 lbs. Your pup may be the runt but I wouldn't say its a super runt and I suspect she will probably grow up to be at about the minimum of the standard. |

These are great questions. I will follow up with the breeder! |

| The breeder got back to me and said Kay was in a litter of 5 and was weaned at 5 weeks old. She said some bitches will feed until the puppies leave and those puppies will be bigger. She said it shouldn't affect Kay's size in the long run |

| Unless you are looking to make her into a show dog, I wouldn't worry too much. I have a male husky who is a few weeks away from a year old and he barely makes the low end of the female husky size/weight chart. He's always been on the small size.
But, he's happy, healthy, and very energetic. I was actually hoping for a larger dog as I plan to have the guy doing some joring of various sorts, but with the energy this guy has, I don't think the size issue will matter. |
