About Keisha C.
Expertise
I can answer most questions about poodles. Be it about a toy , miniature, or standard poodles. Such as questions on colors, grooming, breeding, health issues, the sizes, pedigrees, testing, behavior, training issues, etc.

Experience
I have owned poodles for most of my life and have been a dog breeder and groomer for 11 years. I breed all three sizes of poodles but my heart belongs to the standard poodles. I have lots of client/friends and proud puppy owners. I however, am NOT a vet and I will not diagnosis a dogs medical issues. I can give you ideas and options sometimes but I will not go against your vets wishes nor is my advise to be taken as such or as a replacement for seeing a licensed vet.

Question
My minature poodle is going to have puppys and I just would like to know (on avg.) just how much do unborn pupps weight?

Answer
Do you mean how much do they usually weigh at birth?  There is no way to know how much an unborn puppy weighs.  Miniature poodle puppies usually weigh anywhere from 4-9 oz at birth.  It entirely depends upon how big the mother is, how big the father is, what their bone density is, how big their lines run, and how many puppies the mother is having.  The bigger the litter the less the puppies usually weigh.  There are so many factors that run into that it is impossible to know until they are born and you weigh them for the first time.  You will want to weigh them frequently as puppies should gain 1/2-1 oz per day.  If they are not gaining then you have a problem and will need to supplement the puppies.
