size at full grown

dedeeboru · 09-07-2005, 09:05 AM

Hello,
I saw a thread in here on puppy size and how to tell how big your dog will be full-grown. Can't find it now....but here's my question.

I have a 3 month old female Jack Russell/Standard poodle cross. The rescue seems to think she'll only be about 20 lbs. Considering she's skinny as a rail now and all puppy-gawky at 11 lbs and still has several months of growth, I'm thinking that might be a gross misestimation. Could she only have that little bit to grow???

Not that this makes me love my puppy any less, but it'd be nice to have a better idea, and what she's crossed with doesn't give me a whole lot of help---she could be anywhere from a teeny teacup (too late for that now) to a large breed.

That's a cross I've never seen or heard of till now. Boy, that's going to be a tough call, but I would say no more than 20 or 25 pounds. Standard poodles really are not that heavy. They are long legged and lots of think curly hair which makes them seem heavier than they are. (unless they are overweight)

Here is a site that helps you guesstimate based on current size....
