<p>Hi Julie</p>
<p>i had similar problems during the growth of Oberon: it is really easy to fing growth chart in terms of weight, but they do not contain the height, so is difficult to find out if the puppy is overweight or- more common with IS- underweight for his size... the only advise is that ribs should not be visible, but at such young age I am afraid their visibility vary from week to week.. sometimes in just one week oberon was looking very thin and the week after completely healthy..…</p>

I guess you have to stick on his appetite and food charts, after he reaches 1 year or so it would be much easy to find out his right amount... my two cents of suggestion..</p>
