My current little girl, Ava Jane, is 19 months old and right around 7 pounds. I had two malts before her: Muffy (I got her from a pet shop when I was in college because I did not know any better) was around 11 pounds. She looked like a maltese but was just bigger. My second malt was Zoie Jane. She was around 9 pounds. She was not overweight either - just bigger than the show ring standard. I loved them both just the same. As long as your vet thinks the dog is find for his frame size, you should be okay!

My little one year old girl Lily is 4 1/2 pounds and My two year old boy Snowball is 9 pounds. He was just at the vet's. He is all lean muscle and perfect for his frame just big.(compared to the standard).

Jack's 10.5 pounds, a big boy. He's just over three years old now. Interestingly, his dad was 4 pounds and mom was 6 pounds -- somehow he wound up twice their size! My boyfriend and I say that he's a "throwback"! haha. He was twice the size of his littermates at birth, so the breeder knew that he'd be big -- but that's what I wanted, so I was glad. I didn't want to accidentally roll on my dog and squish him
And there's more to love!

Midis is from a very reputable breeder of champion show dogs, but weighs 9 lbs. Both his parents were between 5.5 and 6 lbs, but his mother is of Italian descent and they sometimes run larger than our US standard. He is the perfect "newborn baby" size and very, very cuddly! (I just had to pry him out of my arms so that I could type this! He loves for me to hold him up on my shoulder when I am at my computer!) He's not fat; I have started walking him again everyday, and he is quite active. He is just larger than the standard.

I had Chrissy to the Vet's today and she weighed in at 3.5 lbs. at 14 weeks of age. Our Vet said that she should probably be around five lbs full grown. She is absolutely adorable and we all love her to death except Snuggles. She is still trying to get used to a playful little white ball of fluff.
