My English mastiff pup was said to be the “runt” and I just weighed her and she is 18 pounds. I weighed her twice to be certain. If 18 pounds is runt size, what is normal? That seemed like a decent weight to me but then I have nothing to compare it to. I have an older one who was not much bigger, 22 pounds at that same age, does that mean she was a runt too? I know that they are going to be whatever they will be as adults and i cant change that. I am just wondering what the norm is that she could be a runt at 9 weeks and 18 lbs.
I would like to add, the breeder gave me $250 off the price for the runt. That is a HUGe difference, so I cant help but think she must really have been TINY, and my other is not yet adult either and she was shipped to me so I didnt see her sibblings in oerson, now she is just at 4 months and only weighs 40 lbs, I am now seeing many at her age who are double the weight.
