Roxy-Well for her 2 mixes I think she is average, but everybody thinks shes alot bigger than she looks.
Lily-Well...the pom standard is 3-7 pounds and she weighs 4.4 so...I guess shes average!

Murph is big for a Cairn in height and weight. I was trying to find a picture of him and Maddie standing next to each other to show the difference, because she was very close to the standard, but couldn't find one.

Male Collies are suppose to be between 60-75 lbs. I think Oz was 70lbs the last time we were at the vet and Gull was 80lbs. Gull is a lil' on the lean side though. He could fill out a lil' more and I wouldn't consider him overweight. So Oz seems about right and Gull's a lil' on the big side for the breed.

The shmelties are both oversized. The sheltie standard is 13"-16" and Emily is about 17" and Clipse is about 18".

Kyra's too small, Mini's average and Micki is too big

Shadow is average, I believe.

And Jack, well, he's too big for a beagle and too little for a lab and the perfect size overall

Kaedyn's 14.5 inches; he's average.
Kai stands at 17-18 inches. He also has the widest frame I've ever seen on a Sheltie.

I had a female black lab that disappeared about a month ago. She was actually bigger than most male black labs. (My kids still cry for her). She was a very good natured though, and very much full blood. She wasn't fat, just tall.

***no telling about Missy here since I'm not sure what she is!!!lol
