I don't remember the weights of my dogs at that age, but the height sounds right in range.

The low end of the breed standard is 55 cm, and your puppy still has some growing to do. I think she will grow some more. ;)

Hi there!

I have 4 puppies that will be 6 months on the 6th. I weighed them this past Sunday and they were 14.5kg, 17.3kg, 19kg and 22kg. I am thinking that my smallest female will top out at about 50# (22.7kg). So depending on your girl's body condition, she may be petite for the breed.

If you could please take moment and introduce yourself in the "New Member Announcements" section, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you could visit the User Control Panel and create a signature that includes your name it helps us keep everyone separate.

Everyone on this forum appreciates seeing pictures, hearing stories of how you got your Dutch and also where you two plan to go from here! Thank you so much for joining and can't wait to hear more!!
