Females can be 60 grams, whereas a large male would be around 45 grams.

Most of mine are still under 2 years old, and the males are currently still larger. I wonder if they'd still be so obnoxious if they knew the tables will be turned on them soon enough!!

Terri,

That's strange. Even at a year old, most of my females have outgrown the males pretty drastically. How big (in weight) are your females vs. males?

Hi Anthony,
I currently don't have anything to weigh them yet, but my red dalmation male from Sticky Feet is at least 1/3 larger with a coarser head (esp. compared to red dalmation female from Dragon's Den, who has a very refined little "dish" face), and my other males are also larger or just even with the ladies. I'll try to get some pix.
Terri
PS Little "Toni" is doing great!
