1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Here is a thread one of our members painstakingly put together with a huge amount of info on weight to age ratios of other dogs on the forum for comparison.
With any puppy a lot depends on their lines. Huskies aren't a large breed dog. They aren't meant to be and shouldn't be. Every line grows at a different rate though so what you see on the charts are averages. Some lines grow super fast and will be heavy at younger ages and others are slow and it seems like they are cat sized forever. When dealing with good reputable breeders they know the rate that their dogs grow and would never let a puppy go early so you don't have those questions. With questionable breeders it's nice to have a bit of a guide and hopefully the chart will help you out. Good pictures of her size with weight and height would help us to know if she doesn't seem to fall anywhere on the charts. From you avatar she looks young but I wouldn't say she's definitely under 8 weeks (almost 9 now). She looks petite.
