It's always interesting to see the different sizes, shapes and rates of growth of our mini's as it seems to be so varied. It's also difficult to know when reading whether a pup is a standard or mini and this discussion will simplify that matter for us. Brady is from a small to med. Golden Retriever and a Miniature Poodle (about 10 lbs). At 5 mos he weighs 18 lbs. I'm hoping he'll stay on the smaller side... he fits so well everywhere including my lap right now! Of course I'll love him to bits regardless of his size!
This is a photo of Peri when she was 8 months old and she has not grown any since then (maybe filled out slightly). She is only 22-24 pounds (depending on whether she is on her exercise regimine)! Pretty sure she was about 16 pounds at 5 months - because that is when she got spayed.
Hurley is 6months and 28lbs. His growth is slowing down a lot so I don't think he will grow too much more. His mom was a golden retriever and his dad was a mini poodle.
wow--that is one cute pup! I think that you will be in the ball park if you double the four month weight--so it Brady was 15 pounds a month ago, the final weight might be around 30, give or take. My pup was 20 pounds at four months and is 34 pounds at 9 months, so will probably end up at around 38-39 pounds.
