11 week old puppy weight

Question
I just got an 11 week old standard poodle puppy 1 day ago.  How much should she weigh?  Is a warm nose ok?

Answer
Hello Jodi,
A warm nose doesn't tell if the dog is sick or not, so if your dogs nose is warm that just means that the dog is warm.  
The best way to make sure your dog is feeling healthy is if she is eating good, making solid Poo's, and is running around like a healthy puppy should.  Checking the eye rims and lips to make sure they are pink and healthy will also tell you how the dog is feeling.  If the gums are white or gray, your dog is anemic and needs to see a Vet.  

As for your puppies weight, an 11 week old puppy should weigh around 10-15 lbs or so.  This will depend on how much you feed her, how much exercise she gets and her background (were her parents large, etc).  She will reach her full height around 9-11 months and will fill out until she is 2.  

Hope this helps you some.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
