Hi

Seems strange but I dont know poms at all so dont know how they grow. He was definatly 10 weeks when he was brought, not older than she thinks and already fully grown???

I know 2 poms that are from the same breeder. One is normal size, but the other is half the size, so it may just be a small one. ;) She's a fiesty little thing, too :) Makes up for her lack of height :D

What size/weight is the Pom?  We have had Pom's over the years where they've been too small to be bred from etc. and we've sold them as pets for a very minimal fee and advised their new owners that they may not live the expected mid to late teens that our other have.

the pom pup is approx 2 pound 10 oz but he was that when she first got him,we thought he would have grown a little,what age do they grow upto,he is a lovely little boy though.

The Pom was quite big then for 10 weeks at 2lb 10 oz's!!!  Between 3 and 7lb is the normal size for Pom's at full size so I would think that it may be at the smaller end, but shocked at how heavy it was at 10 weeks and for it not to change weight in any way although of course it is bound to be more activve now!

hi he is very active infact never still,all though he has not put waight on ,he is not at all thin, he is very very light boned, and has a lovely coat,so it looks like he will be a small one,bless thank you for your help.
