I guess our British friends would call her a Michaelmas baby...maybe more like Sept. 1?
I know of cases where a ball had not reached its 1st yr. yet weighed 1000 grams (+). Likewise, 2 yrs. olds who had not, yet, broken the 1000 gram mark (& less).
However, if you choose to not believe such can/does happen, that is your right.
My thoughts, as already stated, is that your ball is likely a 2015.
However, was giving you info as to why you cannot always go by weight/length since other factors may need to be taken into consideration.
You had not given any info on feeding, very little history, and an unknown background/genealogy.
Regardless, good luck and enjoyment, with her.
