Standard or Miniature: 9-Week-Old Puppy, 9.6 Pounds

by John
(Florida)

Hello everyone, I just joined the Aussie family and bought a standard puppy 9 weeks and he weighs 9.6 pounds.

I was told he was standard and both his parents are AKC certified I'm just wondering if I was sold a mini or am I not feeding him enough?

He does never finish eating he always gets distracted and leaves the plate half full.

puppy weight

My female Aussie weighed 12 pounds 4 ounces at 9 weeks. She is now 9 years old and weighs 41 pounds. The range in weight for a Standard Australian Shepherd Adult Female is 35 pounds to 55 pounds, so she is in the middle by weight. There is a website with weight graphs for female and male Aussies. To convert kilograms to pounds, multiply by 2.2

You really never know how big it will get until it is fully grown, at 16 months.

Just like my pup

My standard female Aussie was about 10 lbs at 9 weeks. I saw the whole litter and she was the most petite. My friend adopted her littermate (a male) and he has always been substantially heavier and bigger. I think it's probably normal and just and individual characteristic. Your pup may grow faster in the coming months and it may all even out.
