Awwww, Patches, you are one beautiful girl :heart: Papbouv, what does she weigh now? Her long hair could make her look like she weighs more than she does. She is soooo precious :heart: :heart: I really don't think she looks overweight.
Hey, Roscoe, check this out!
Ooo, La, La, she is one good-lookin' babe!
Lemme see! Lemme see! HOLY GUACAMOLE!! Those gams, that coat!! SHE'S SMOKIN'!!!
Guys! The hoomans are reading!
WHAT????!!!!?!?!? :oops:
I do beg your pardon. Without being gauche and asking for her weight (really, Miss Cheryl, how indelicate of you to ask!) I may conjecture that Miss Patches would be considered a mini if her weight is under 11 pounds. Should her luxurient coat cause her weight to come in at over 11 pounds, she would be considered a "tweenie" although that nomenclature is very informal and is not considered a standard for the breed. :book1:

"Shut up, Guinness.'
Hahahahaha...I stand corrected and beg your forgiveness Patches.....One should never ask a girlie her weight.....how insensitive of me :doah:
What a beautiful girl. I must admit that she does appear to be somewhat extra fluffy. I would personally call it a really REALLLLLYYY full coat and leave it at that.
Thanks guys for the lovely comments Patches weighs 13.8 # we are still going for walks actually Patches trots,Buddy walks & I ride the scooter which Patches also rides sometimes laying across the fender of the scooter or sitting between my feet. I think if I could get 1 more pound off of her she would be perfect of course she thinks she is starving.. Some one recently posted a picture of a Tweenie and I thought Patches looked smaller in perportion is why I asked. Did not get papers with Patches figured if I wanted to do obedience at a later date I could get one of those LP numbers.Did not get to see the parents I'm sure she came from a backyard breeder I got her at 16 weeks had not had any shots yet????

:thinik: So if she loses another pound, she'll still be considered a "Tweenie" by everyone except DCA, who would call her a standard.
Yeah, right. One twelve pound fluffball against those 30 pound behemoths. Who is it on the board who has King Kong and Godzilla?? LOL!
Karen :2funny:
I really do not care if she is a minnie or a tweenie just trying to figure out a good health weight for her to me he head is little compared to her body??? Not being a show dog just a pet it really makes no difference I just want her healthy maybe she will not have back problems in the future.Have heard extra weight on them is not good for their backs being a long haired dog sorta hard to tell just by looking at her.She is my first Doxie just trying to do right by her.
