When did your Maltese stop growing?

My Zoe is 5 lbs. at 2 years and 3 months. It's always hard to tell exactly how much they will weigh once full grown. How much does Kelly weigh at 10 months old?

Kelly's vet weighed her today; she's 4 lbs. I really hope she doesn't weigh any more than 6 lbs when she's fully grown!

It doesn't seem like she will be more than 6 lbs.

Kitzel's ex-rays showed that his skeletal growth was almost completely finished at one yr. but he kept adding weight (both of mine LOVE eating). He is 6 1/2 lbs. now & seems heavy compared to Lisi. I think his weight is perfect for his frame.
Lisi has not grown any more since ??? maybe summer. She turned one early August. She is a chunky 4 1/2 lbs & long for her size, but short legs whereas Kitzel has longer legs so is much taller. Her face is small so she looks tiny, but she looks really chunky when she is bathed. I love her little body! She is so strong!
Her breeder knew she would be on the smaller side which suits us as we fly a lot & there are weight restrictions as they fly in the same bag.
I really think people should also be weighed & an allowance made in luggage for those who are smaller---don't get me started!
