Love how she's polar opposites lol, she’s either (to quote spinal tap) on 11 or in full chill mode no in between. I've always had bully breeds and decided to get her when i came across her. An uhoh from a k9 and their personal pet both Dutchies. Shes learning quickly and the only issue so far is she absolutely hates harnesses going over ears.

It's definitely a learning curve going from bully breeds to her however she's coming along nicely 😁.
Only question I have is she's 12 weeks old and already 26 in long nose to bum and 25 lb is that normal?

Hi guys
Wow, your pup is growing at an impressive rate! While every dog develops differently, it's important to monitor their growth to ensure they're healthy. Given her length and weight at 12 weeks, she might be on the larger side, but it's always a good idea to consult with a veterinarian to confirm if her growth is within a healthy range for her breed and size. Keep up the great work with her training! πŸ˜„free fire name

Her 12 week check up and shots I talked to the vet and she told me that this breed grows rapidly for the first 6 to 8 months and then starts leveling off on growth (so after 6 to 8 months she'll still grow for close to 2 years, but not as rapidly per vet 🀞🀞🀞)
