I'd keep this fella on carpet - something he can get good traction on - and I might separate him from his mom some ... like spend some time with YOU doing some things.... at approx 2 weeks he should be getting up on those legs some & I'd encourage him to do that ... Or maybe let him be with Mom, but put a belly band on Mom part of that time ? Just trying to think of things that might help ... Once he is up and trotting around, I don't think you'll need to worry so much - he will be a 'big puppy' because of getting All the food, but ... his genetics should control his ultimate size - as long as he isn't too fat to do the running around <grin> Just my thoughts - others might have other suggestions - Joan
