My gorgeous English bulldog pup is 8-weeks old and weights only 6.2 pounds. Is this a healthy weight for her? She is chunky and seems healthy, she eats well and but according to some charts I've seen online she's underweight.
She is my first Bulldog ever, so I am not acquainted with the appropriate weight for her.
Any help is greatly appreciated?

I wouldnt worry so much about online charts. What does your vet think? You should be able to feel the ribs with a slight fat covering. If the ribs, hips, or spine stick out then you dog is too thin. If you cant feel the ribs, then your pup is overweight

| hi! i have 2 female bully puppies and when they were 8 weeks they weighed 10.7lbs and 8.7lbs. your pup does seem a little small, but as long as he/she is eating the recommended amount, they'll grow leaps and bounds over the next few months. good food makes all the difference. after trying several different kinds we now feed our pups blue buffalo. when they were 8 weeks i fed them 2 1/2 cups a day. good luck! they are so much work, but SO MUCH FUN!
