How big?????

[omega]

For those of you who have full grown Maltese babies, how much do they weigh?

S. Morkie... you will have to subtract the weight of the hair if you answer this question. :wink5:

[bogiesmom]

Bogie is almost 3 years old and weighs about 7 pounds.

Reva and Little Bogie

[Malteseluv]

I don't know if Emma counts as full-grown...She will be one yr old on June 25th :) She's almost 4 lbs now :)

[mia's mom]

Mine are babies still but Cody is a whopping 6 lbs already at 5 months!:o I think he is related to LB........Love ya LB!

LOL, Maggie he has a long way to go! He just may be related to LB!

[MaxJack'sMom]

Jack is a big brute of a boy!! He weighs 13 pounds, but the vet said at his 1 year check up that he is very well proportioned and rock solid. He plays all day and get 2-3 walks a day so he's not lazy.

[dogloverx4]

Both of my girls weigh under 4lb's - they are both tiny . Sarah

[I Found Nemo]

:D Nemo is also big he is 10pds, but he is from a petstore. Usually when you buy from a reputable breeder your puppy will be standard like from 4 to 7 pds . When you buy from a petstore you just don't know the background so you dont know what you will get. I don't really cars as I love Nemo more than anything but I am just trying to say it like it is. Omega how much does she weigh now?

Well, unless I cut it all off, I can only make a guess that she would fall somewhere between 8 and 9 pounds! She is a big gal but I love every ounce of her!!!!

[bek74]

Max would be about 8 pounds and Sammy Maree would be about 10 pounds

and I luv every pound :D

So do I bek..It doesnt change a dam* thing for me

[ladyjazz]

Cosmo is also one years old and that will be in like a week and he is 5.5 pounds. Blue is 7 months and already 5.2 pounds so he may get bigger than Cosmo:D

Myla will be 16 weeks on Sunday and she weighs 3.7# - exactly the same as Brea - one of my Yorkies who is 8 months.

I have a big Yorkie and she is the most cuddly of the three. She can also be extremely squirrely, but is also the most laid back (most of the time) and such a love bug. At night she sleeps on the pillow next to my head, as close to my head as she can get. :)

At 4 months Nemo was bigger, I think she will be around 6 pds give or take a few..
That is small. For my next on I want 5 to 7pds:D

I get a kick out of all of us thinking a 9# or so dog is big! :sidesplit:

Thats what I say, I think anything under 20pds is small to me anyway:confused: its just that I have heard so much crap of how Nemo is not "Standard":( well I know that already I dont need to keep being told:(
but I agree with you

When I think of a big dog, I think 70-150 lbs!:D

[MalteseJane]

Alex is 5.8 lbs. And he is not from a so called reputable breeder. Who cares Andrea, the important thing is that they are healthy.

[plumie]

I dont have a maltese yet. but people always comment on my yorkie saying hes not pure cus hes big for his breed and his ears doesnt stick up. Or its not a teacup its not cute.
I think 10 pounds is small already. And hes darn cute to me :D

[MyTrixie143]

Sugar and Candie are both 7 pounds. They are both 9 months old but they haven't grown any since they were about 6 months old so I don't expect them to get any bigger.

Here's my big Yorkie. His ears don't stand up either and he is an XL. lol Teddy weighs about 14 lbs. I think he is just perfect. He's my Teddy Bear.

Poochie is 5.6 lbs., Skippy is around 11 lbs, oh and Max, he is 123 lbs. :D My rescue Henry, is still underweight for his frame size but he's been adding on some lbs. very slowly.

[lilybellesmom]

LilyBelle is 13 lbs of muscle!

[Morkie4]

LilyBelle is 13 lbs of muscle!

Just remember as her hair grows out she is going to weigh more so it isn't going to be all muscle!:lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
Long Hair is a good way to hide body mass! ROFL

[lilybellesmom]

Oh well then...I better grow my hair real long! And not shave LOL:sidesplit:

[KMitchell]

How do you know when your babies are going to stop growing?

[lilybellesmom]

Krystal, my vet says that LB will stop growing at 2 yrs, which was why he wanted to hold off on her luxating patella surgery. But then that's my vet, I'm not sure about others.

[KMitchell]

2 years! Wow! That a long time! I thought they stopped growing around 6 months to a year!!

[Morkie4]

Krystal, my vet says that LB will stop growing at 2 yrs, which was why he wanted to hold off on her luxating patella surgery. But then that's my vet, I'm not sure about others.
Maybe he just wanted to be extra sure she was quite done so no repeat surguries.
2 years! Wow! That a long time! I thought they stopped growing around 6 months to a year!!

I was always told that at one year old they would stop growing...........Toby stopped by the time he was one year old and Kallie, well, we adopted her at 2 1/2 so she was quite done with growing by then.:D

[I Found Nemo]

All Maltese's are different some stop at 6 months some stop at 3 yrs.I think 3yrs would be the max though:D

[genie]

Bentley is growing VERY fast. When I got him at 3 months he weighed 3.6lbs and now at 5 months he weighs 6.2lbs. He might get to be 20 lbs....but who cares...look at this face.....

Who in heavens name is saying such rubbish like that????, I dare anyone to say anything negitive about my babies, I will kick their butt.
I think the standard is rubbish, it was made up by a bunch of toffee nose people, who decided over years to breed out certain traits they didn't like. The Maltese we have today, is nothing like the PURE maltese breed back in the 1800's. So who defines STANDARD.
Sorry I just get so p1$$ed when people make such rude comments about someones beloved baby.
I wouldn't change either of my furbabies, I love every inch and every pound of them.
Nemo is beautiful, if you were to find another baby as sweet and beautiful as Nemo is, you will be doubly blessed. Hugs to you and your handsome baby.

xoxoxoxo

[dogloverx4]

Well everyone's maltese is tiny compared to my 20lb thumper Teddy the Lhasa . Teddy also has one blue eye so is miles away from the standard . I adore the bigger ones , more to LOVE:hearter: . Sarah

I agree!
Im sick :mad: of all the ""standard" too big, larger end comments about some of our beautiful:) dogs.
Andrea, you take those sad faces off your post about Nemo and what people said, you know they are just ignorant snobs.
One time I pm'd a person on another forum to maybe meet if she lived close.
Well she was in driving distance but since the 1st sentence was about how Holly sounds as if she would be on " bigger end of the maltese standard " and hers was only 4lbs, I decided this person would not be worth the drive and no more comunicating w/her if that's all she could think to post me.:mad:
I agree it's nice to track our pups growth but big or small they all are very special.

The part about me NOT being standard??? I am well ABOVE the standard, thank you.. :lol2: :lol2:

I'm with you on this one! :lol2:

[Love my Leo]

Leo is 8 mos. and weighs 7 lbs. I heard that small breed dogs are pretty much their adult weight by 7 mos.

Cathy

[mia's mom]

Ok my pet peeve is the opposite. When they say Mia is not of breed standard and "inferior" that dogs at her weight are "runts" :mad: :mad: I think she is perfect!!!!!!:D :D

[carmenp]

She is so cute Maggie. Stands her ground with Cody too. But she is a bit smaller than the standard. Does not make her less of a cuttie. I kinda wish Sushi was small like that but then again, with my Labs, a tiny dog would end up a flattened stain on the floor. Sushi is 4.5 months and 5.6 pounds. Hopefully he wont get to big. His mom was 7 pounds and dad was 5. Let's get them together soon Maggie.

[Morkie4]

Ok my pet peeve is the opposite. When they say Mia is not of breed standard and "inferior" that dogs at her weight are "runts" :mad: :mad: I think she is perfect!!!!!!:D :D

And you know Maggie, having Cody will only make Mia look smaller. Now if you had Toby next to her she may not look so small. Just trying to rationalize here to help you out ......... Cody and Kallie, well I think they would do great together. They'd sleep all day together under my feed!!! Such a very easy solution. :D :D :D :D

Ok now Carol, you can have Cody and Kallie play together but the sleeping together is out. Jack read this and his mouth just about fell to the floor. There he goes again, he's got his hitch hiking sack out and he's stuffing it with dog biscuits for the long hike to Florida. He said he needs sun block...been 90 degrees up here for the last couple of days and he has his calling card just in case those Huchie Mommas are still waiting for him.:lol2:

Oh put Jack's mind at ease...........it would strictly be a platonic relationship. A big sister, little brother relationship!:D :D

[lilybellesmom]

Maggie, Mia is small but mighty! She's one tough cookie and certainly can put Cody in his place. Pay no mind to what they say. She's too cute!

If you can only hear what they say of LB!:sidesplit:

Oh put Jack's mind at ease...........it would strictly be a platonic relationship. A big sister, little brother relationship!:D :D

Jack 'woofs' thank you. It's just too hot today to wander and it's Father's Day and he doesn't want his Daddy to worry about him.

Jack wishes his FIL a very happy day with lots of playing with Kallie and Toby.

Dear Andrea,

Believe me when I say this, there are many Maltese owners with dogs within a "standard" size that WISH their dogs looked as handsome as Nemo does! Nemo is one VERY good looking handsome guy! So it's a bit larger, so what! He's beautiful. And we know it!

enJOY!

Mr Wookie and I hear some of the same things. He is 18 months old and very well proportioned at 2 pounds 8 ounces, 6 2/3 inches by 6 3/4 inches. And we hear all sorts of comments.
"Oh is that a teacup?" NO he's a dog!
"What kind of dog is that? I have never seen one so small." He's a Maltese. "That can't be a Maltese, my friend has one and it doesn't look like THAT. My friend's dog has short hair and is much bigger." Your friend may keep their Maltese in a puppy cut and Maltese come in many sizes.

On and on it goes. There are rude people everywhere with opinions they think others want to hear. :tongue5: NO thanks!

enJOY!
Melanie

Teddy is 18 weeks and weighed 6lbs at the vet....I was told..??? by the breeder that he would be 6lbs full grown, I did see the parents and I would guess they looked around 8lbs? I like him a little bigger, harder to step on when he's under feet, which is always!!! LOL
