F1b weight at 11wks?

[Taylor]

My F1b mini golden doodle is 11wks and weighs about 5.5-6lbs.  Does anyone else recall the weight of their doodle? She was 2.1lbs at 8wks.

I know the answer to this for Katie! She is also a F1b mini. 

At 8 weeks she was 5.8 pounds. At 11 weeks she was 7.4 pounds. Full grown she's about 30 pounds, give or take a couple. The rule of double their weight at 16 weeks and add 5 pounds or so to estimate adult size worked for us. At 16 weeks she was 12.0 pounds.

Awesome!! Thank you for the info! I was Looking at your pictures of Katie and I think My Mowglee might turn out to be her little twin!  How old is Katie now??

[Stacy]

What a cutie. She will be 3 1/2 next month. It's funny how you forget how tiny they were when they were little. Here are a couple pictures shortly after I brought her home.

My little guy stayed 12 pounds until a year and a half and has not grown much since.

She is gorgeous. I am looking to get a female (mail order bride I guess) so I can give my mom an off spring of Jordi.

Soooo cute!!!!  I feel Like my baby is soooo tiny compared to other pups

It is best if you wait until they are two years old before health testing and breeding. When you do that you have a better chance for genetically healthy offspring.

Where did you get her if you don't mind me asking?

[Taylor]

I got Her from a breeder outside of Atlanta, however I’m going to be honest, it was super sketchy! Well after I got Her was sketchy.  She claimed she had dewormed her 2 times. She sent me pictures of her parents, and the paperwork she gave me was literally a copy of a health certificate that was so poorly photo copied icouldnt read it and it and had three check marks marking stuff off. It the quality was so bad I couldnt Tell what it said. I have Reached out to the breeder and have not had one ounce of contAct since purchase of the puppy. I received Her ona Friday at midnight and too Her to the vet the following Monday and she had two different types of parasites so I figured That’s why she was so tiny...?

What part of Atlanta, if you don’t mind me asking? I got mine from a breeder around Atlanta as well. 

[Taylor]

She said she was from Lawrenceville, Georgia and she met at the Atlanta Airport. She said she lived about 30min to one hour depending on traffic from the airport.    However ever..the sketchy was gets worse, after purchasing, and I did research for months, I found The same add (as the one I bought My puppy from) but with a different phone number/name on a different website . Neither phone number ever answered or wrote me back.

I don't pretend to know much about this sort of thing, but it sounds to me like some sort of puppy broker operation. I bet the people involved with rescue could give you some idea about how all of it works. 

If I may make a suggestion, if you don't already have it, get pet insurance for your pup immediately. In my experience, (and I bought a dog from a puppy mill that I didn't realize was a puppy mill until later too. So no judgment from me) dogs from situations like these can have health problems that are beyond your wildest imagination. Having insurance would have made a huge difference to me.
