What is a healthy rate of puppy weight gain?

Question by KAR36: What is a healthy rate of puppy weight gain?
My puppy had his first vet appointment a little more than a week ago. He weighed 4 pounds. He went back for a second appointment a week later for shots, and he had gained a half a pound in a week.

Is there a reference online that shows “normal” or healthy puppy weight gain rates?

Or can someone share what that rate should be?

He is a small breed dog – pekingese-poodle, so that might matter too?
