Average Height and Weight

[Paula]

Hey, Cairn lovers. My cairn is almost four months old and I got her when she was three. She was really tiny back then, but now she's 10" tall and she weighs 9 pounds. I read that the average height for female Cairns is 10 inches, so I was wondering if she has already reached her full height. Given that she's only four months, I don't think she's done growing, is she?

Thanks a lot!!

No there is no way she is done growing yet. Darcy just recently stopped gaining weight and she is 9 1/2 months.

Hi Paula! My Fiona is almost 5 months and we got her when she was 2.5 months. At first she weighed only 2.7 pounds. By 3.5 months she was 5 pounds and we were just at the vet a week ago and she weighed a little over 7 pounds. She has been having a growth spurt and is eating much more (plus i know she is heavier because of when i pick her up!) So sounds like your little angel is growing just right...and surely will get bigger. i haven't done any measurements yet but seemed around 4 mos my puppy really grew and started looking more like a cairn...

Thank you so much, Darcy's Folks and Liz.

For what you guys are telling me, Holly has grown really quickly... I'm still not sure whether I should expect her to get much taller than she is right now. How tall are your cairns?

Thanks again!

Savannah is almost 10 months old and she is 14 pounds. I will have to measure her height tonight cause I don't have a clue about that. Savannah grew very rapidly until about 7 or 8 months old. She hasn't grown much since then.

Well, I have a Male named Dash. He is 15.4 lbs! He is going to be 6 months on Thursday. He is a little pudgy but looks like he is slimming in the belly area to me. He is gaining like crazy.

His daddy was 18 lbs and his mom was 14/15 lbs.
