    When people first meet my Sadie, they say, "That's not a Labrador"! And I just shrug my shoulders, and say, "Yeah, she is, she just a bit smaller that your average Labby!'

    Nova and Luka are average. Mandy is small for a German Shepherd and average for a Pit Bull.

    Payson is a mixed breed but he looks mostly like a Jack Russell, he's a bit bigger than most Jacks I've seen.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I can't remember what the height limit is for huskies so I'm not sure on that one, though I bet Nebo is too tall, he has long legs. He's within the weight for a male husky (45-60 lbs) weighing in at 60 lbs. So I'd say average to maybe a bit large for the standard.

    I'm not sure about the schnauzers I haven't really looked into how tall they are supposed to be or what weight (I don't really care anyway, they are not show dogs) but from the schnauzers I've seen at work they seem to be average size.

    Blaze is about average for being a Border collie; around 40 pounds approximately.

    I have two poms. Gadget my male is AKC registered, but, he's 18 lbs. and no, he's not fat, just big all over.
    Gidget, my female, is 7lbs.


    So, I'd have to say that even though poms are usually 3-7 lbs. Both of mine are on the larger side of the scale.

    Gracie is HUGE for a sibe bitch. obviously since she was disqualified from the conformation ring a couple weeks ago.

    Beanie is a 15lb pomerainian! he's not fat. he's just a BIG pom.
    Owned by two little pastries!


    REST IN PEACE GRACIE. NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T MISS YOU.

    Visa is small for the breed, but still correct size. Most females will get to be an inch or two taller than her. Everyone who meets her can't believe how small she is. She has almost too much bone for a girl her size.

    Candy is VERY small. She is undersize but the breed standard has a one inch heigh allowance so she could still be shown.
    I've been BOO'd!

    I said Don't know because it's very confusing.

    If you're considering her a whippet, she is big.

    If you consider her a greyhound, she is small.

    If you're going by weight, she's always small.

    Jen: 28" ( shoulders)
    35lbs

    At one point, Jenny was 15 lbs

    According to this Great Dane puppy chart...

    Month 8: 80-115 pounds & 27-34 inches

    Bailey is just right! He is 31" and 107 pounds.
