My 4 month old tricolor Lilly was the runt of her litter and is extremely small for her age. She came home at 9 weeks at 2 1/2lbs and is 4.10lbs now and as I said already 4months! She is completely healthy and has a great appetite. Should I be concerned? I reached out to the breeder and she said that both her parents were 15lbs and she should be a little smaller then that and to not worry because Cavaliers take a full year to grow. My other Cavalier Sophie came home at I believe around 5lbs and by 4 months I think she was closer to 8lbs. I've been having dreams Lilly's full grown weight is 5lbs. As much as I don't mind having a tiny dog-I don't want her weight to hold her back and I want her to be able to play with other dogs and let her play in the yard without being worried about hawks.
