puddles Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone can give me the average weight for a female ACD puppy at 6 months old. She is a small girl, and was the runt, so not expecting her to be too big, but just curious! Apparently her brother is about half her size again!

Inevitablue Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 My 7 month old is 20.5 kg, but I'd guess a healthy weight range would start at around 12kg at that age. I saw a relative of my dog (and Daisy was a very little puppy) who is only 16 kg fully grown. How does she look? Is she muscly (that's why mine weighs so much).

puddles Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hi inevitablue! attached are two photos. She was about 10kg at 6 months, will take her to be weighed again during the week! She is fairly stocky but not overweight! I think I may end up with a minature! She is pedigree but was the runt and was always a little developmentally behind the others!

persephone Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I think she is gorgeous!! I love those stocky little legs ...small is good (she can still be a lapdog :p ) if her ribs are really easily felt ..then she may be a bit underweight - but she looks Ok to me in those photos!

puddles Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 ha ha thanks! can't feel ribs, she does look a bit thin in those pics but isn't actually! It is dinner time too! I think she is destined to be small forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevitablue Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 She is gorgeous Puddles. Do you hope to do any dog sports with her? I'd say she is just going to be a little girl. She is what my breeder would call an 'instant dog', in other words all her pieces fit together nicely at a young age. Mine went from 10 kg to 17kg almost overnight, and she is still a leggy pup who hasn't even filled out in the head yet (physically!, not mentally.....that's always been there ) Your girl you can see what she will look like as an adult Little Daisy is as cute as a button, just in miniature. She was a runt who had to be hand fed. Hmmmmm teacup ACD's anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddles Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 ha ha yeah don't let those designer dog breeders hear you say that!! I am going to get her weighed for her heartworm tablet tomorrow so I will post her new weight! Yes I am aiming to do agility at the least with her. Not sure that I will trial obedience, as I also have a non pedigree but fairly pure (I think) red boy who hates obedience, and now that we have our ccd title Im not going to continue - he does however LOVE agility and I hope to trial him very soon!

Inevitablue Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 My old ACDs hated obedience too, until I started training them 'in drive'. Complete change of attitude, but by the time I discovered this (more like fumbled onto it) they were getting old. One in particular I had been shutting down because of the check chain. My pup now cannot get enough of 'training time'. Where did you get her from? I love her head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Nothing wrong with tea-cup ACD or BCs for that matter . Make super competitive 400 dogs for agility . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevitablue Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Would be sort after flyball dogs, super quick, lots of retrieving drive and with ankle height jumps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddles Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 ha ha! I got her from a couple that have just started breeding near Bundaberg. Their prefix is 'Alvic'. Lovely people and all their pups were lovely too! They show a bit, and have a lovely male there that is their stud prospect! As of today she is 7 1/2 months and 11.4 kg!!
