    Happy is large for a BC bitch, at 21" at the whithers, Misty is small at 18". Blair is average for pyrsheps at 15 inches. Perky and Ripley ae mutts, and I dont know about Electra yet lol but she seems to be growing at the same rate Misty did, I am guessing she will end up between Happy and Mistys hights. weight wise Misty is average for a BC and Happy is teensy lol she is barly over a pound per inch.

    Tango is taller than a female Toller should be, but is about average height for msot female Border Collies around here. She weighs about the same as a purebred female Toller should, and a lot of Border Collies are around the same weight aswell.

    Morgan is small for the average Rottweiler, she'll probably only be 70lbs as an adult. Which isn't overly small, but most Rotties I meet are about 80+ pounds. All of my family's girls have been small though.

    Tia is very small for a Dachshund.

    Winston is about average for a make Doberman.

    Well, the breed standard for a Chihuahuas weight is "not to exceed 6 pounds". Spanky is 1.7 and, while she is not full grown, we all believe that she'll average around three pounds. She was the smallest of her litter but none of her siblings should go over four or five pounds. I haven't measured how tall or long she is, though.

    Bitsy's average, she's 7 lbs. Technically she's at the top of the weight bracket (AKC says 3-7 lbs) but other poms I've seen are usually larger than she is.

    Pugs are supposed to be 14-18 lbs and Nacey is 14 lbs. She's actually the smallest pug I've seen. (the largest being 28lbs )

    Miniature Pinschers are supposed to be 8-10 lbs. Charlie is 8 lbs, but is a little chubby, his perfect weight is 7 lbs. Since we've moved and switched food he's put on weight and is now on a diet. So I guess he's a little on the small side for his breed.

    Chihuahua's are supposed to be 2-6 lbs. Buster is 6 lbs. I've seen so many chihuahuas larger than he is and so many smaller.

    Nova and Jake are both mixes so they don't fit into a breed standard. Nova is 13 lbs and she, like Charlie, has recently put on weight and is on a diet. Jake is 40lbs and I'm trying to put a little weight on him.

    Jasmine is 81lbs, but shouldn't be over 70lbs per standard.
    Indy is 93lbs, but shouldn't be over 80lbs per standard.

    malakai is average now for his age..and we are guessing that he will grow into an average size for an adult male dane..he is now around 135 and 33-34 inches at the withers..we (and his breeder) predict that he''ll finish growing at about 150-160lbs and 35-36 inches at the withers..but only time will tell i suppose

    Chloe is a mixed breed..so i have no idea
