I try my best to keep Mickey and Minnie at a proper weight for them. We've had Mickey for about 2 months and he seems to be filling out nicely. Minnie, at 9 mo. Still needs to fill out some. My best dog for weight was Bob Barker, a 6.5 lb dachshund. He would gain and lose 2 or 3 ounces but no more. I'd never had a dog that kept at the proper wait while eating whatever I have him.
