| Ratio age/weight, weight gain?
Hi everyone. Just wanted to know if anyone could tell me how much weight a Rottie puppy should gain each month? I'm guessing 10 -15 pounds?
Also, can enyone provide a rough estimate on the average growth rate of a Rottweiler. I found this one on some Yahoo forum, but it dosn't seem accurate since some people were saying that their dogs are way under this scale:
Weight Increment
Age /
Weeks / grams,g / pounds, lbs
1.......650-900 g .........1-2 lbs
2.......900-1400 g ....... 2-3 lbs
3.......1300-1900 g ..... 3-4 lbs
4.......2100-2900 g ..... 5-7 lbs
5.......3000-4000 g ..... 7-9 lbs
6.......4000-5000 g ..... 9-11 lbs
Is this the right weight gain or? And what after the 6th feek (3....4 months)
I'm asking this since my female rottie is (I think, really small compared to her age) She's 10 weeks now and around 17lbs. When I got her at 7 weeks, she was 8lbs. She was eating IAMS puppy for large breed but I changed it to Canidae...it's been a week now.
Please, if anyone knows about this, help!  |
