Will my 10-month-old mixed breed dog continue to grow much bigger?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sam. He is likely full grown or very nearly at his age. He may fill out a bit more, but I suspect his weight or measurements will not change much. He can transition to adult food or do so within the next month. I hope this information helps!

Atlas is a very handsome boy, congrats on your new dog! At seven months old, he will be getting close to his full size, and while he will grow some more (dogs typically reach adult size between one year to 18 months of age), he won't double in size from where he is currently. I would expect a little more growth from him but not a massive change in size or weight :-)

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! :-)

It depends on Zeus's age. Typically dogs reach the full growth between one year to 18 months of age (large and giant breeds of dogs take longer to reach their full growth). If he's still young, he will have more growing to do. I hope this helps :-)

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.

He is certainly a cutie! It is truly impossible to determine the origins of a mixed breed dog based on appearances. particularly one this young. I can see what could be cane corso or another mastiff/bully breed in his face. If you want to know his lineage I would recommend a genetic test. You can order the Wisdom Panel online or ask your vet if they have a test they can perform. As far as his size, it will depend on his parents if you have seen them, or for a very rough estimate we sometimes will see what the weight at 3 months is and triple this for a guess at adult size.

Hi, and thanks for your request. Yes your feeling is absolutely right! He has still about 15 to 25 pounds to put on!!
