my friends dog gave birth to a toy poodle that weighed 0.4 lbs. Is that a normal weight for a dog like this?

Usually toy poddles only weigh about 7 pounds or so, full grown, so I would things that .4 would be about right for a newborn puppy. It will double in size by week 2.

That is very normal. The smaller the breed the smaller the pups usually. Larger dogs have larger pups. Our boxers range anywhere from a pound to a pound and a half and they are a might size larger than a toy poodle :-)

Toy breeds only weigh a few ozs. This is normal.

A healthy weight, my mother bought one that was 0.2 lbs. at birth, this fellow is now chasing away the postman ( in his dreams, the postman is not very impressed )

Sounds about right. When My poodle had puppies you could hold each one in the palm of your hand. And they always pee on you.
