Is my 11-month-old Maltese Schnauzer mix done growing at 10 lbs?

Unfortunately that's hard to know exactly because he is a mixed breed. Mixed dogs can some grow larger than either parent. In general, small breed puppies reach adult height around 6-8 months of age so I suspect (as a guess) he may only grown another inch or two. He will gain weight and fill out until about 8-10 months of age. I suspect he may end up around 9-10lbs. This will depend though on which parent he takes after. Maltese tend to be light boned and thin where as Shih Tzu's tend to be heavier boned and have a stockier build. Again, know this is all a guess. Sometimes puppies can be late bloomers. Your veterinarian can get a better idea based upon Comet's bone structure. I hope this helps.

IN general a Maltese should weigh roughly 6-8 pounds, or roughly 4 kg full grown. So it is possible that Snowie could be mixed with another breed and may be slightly larger full grown. If he is 4kg now, he may be as large as 5/6 Kg at his adult weight. http://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/maltese/

Based on the mix of breeds you said I would suspect that Gracie has done the majority of her growth already. You might see some very small amounts of growth until 18 months of age but for the most part she will hopefully remain that size forever.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Sam may have other breeds in him that shed if he is a mix. I recommend Krillex Shed Free Chews, which can be found online quite easily. I would try this for at least 3 months and see if this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. Please take the time to mark this question as helpful or not as it helps us to improve on the quality of our answers to other pet owners. Thank you kindly!

Hi, and thanks for your request. Yes your feeling is absolutely right! He has still about 15 to 25 pounds to put on!! Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.

At 13 months of age, Yoda may grow just a bit more, but he is mostly done growing. Some dogs are just smaller in stature than others, regardless of having the same genetic background. It is unusual that Yoda (being a male) is smaller than his sister, but genes can do crazy things. Sixty pounds of muscle is still a pretty big dog! :-)

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Timmy. If you know what he weighed between 4-5 months of age, you can double this weight. It will be a rough estimate of his full grown adult weight. He should continue to grow and fill out until he is 12-15 months of age. I hope this information helps!
