Question:Our male pug weighs 15 pounds he is 4 mounthes old.
My 2 female pugs are almost 7 mounthes old and weigh 10-13 pounds each.
Why is their a difference?
Is this normal?
also none of them are fat they are all muscular.
Answers:
It's normal. My dogs are the same way. It's just different bond structures and where males and females carry their weight. For instance, men have an optimum body fat percentage of 8%. Women have an optimum body fat percentage of almost twice that, 17%. But, we just carry our weight in different areas. Check with your vet to make sure that you're dogs are healthy, but don't stress out about it. I'm sure they're fine.
Other Answers:
Female dogs are usually smaller than male dogs.
I have a Male Pug that is now 8yrs. old and weighs 27lbs., but he's a big Pug. My vet told me he should weigh 25lbs. But he is also very muscular and has a very broad chest.
unless you are breeding them you really don't have to worry about the weight... Most females are smaller than males but if you were breeding something like a Chihuahua then you would want a smaller male so it didn't cause complications in the birth, but that's a whole different story, yet still useful.
