Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This information is from the AKC (American Kennel Club).

Poodle weights-

4-6 pounds (toy)
10-15 pounds (miniature)

This question is really hard to answer without watching and tracking Gypsy's growth and without seeing her parents and knowing what their weights were.

Toy and mini poodles mature at one year of age so the next 5 1/2 months will answer your question. Her body frame may enlarge or she may just gain a little more weight. It's hard to say. Good luck

My 4-month-old puppy is 6 lbs. How big will he get as an adult?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The final weight of a dog depends on breed. Large breed and giant breed dogs can grow until 2 years of age. At 4 months and weighing only 6 lbs, I would guess (without seeing a picture of your dog0 that he won't be over 15 pounds. I wish you the best!

Why does my poodle sit sideways? How to tell if it's toy or miniature?

Some dogs dog naturally favor sitting on one hip or the other. It can also indicate a problem with the hip so it is very important to watch for any signs of lameness. Poodles are classified as toy or miniature by the adult weight and the two can be interbred. That means you can guess how big he will be based on the size of his parents but you won't know until he is full grown. Louie will be full grown around 8-10 months of age most likely. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

What's the ideal weight for my 6-month-old standard male poodle?

When a standard male poodle is fully grown, they are between 45-70 pounds. At almost seven months of age, Theo should be getting close to 3/4 of his final adult weight. This would be 33-52 pounds in size.

My 12-week-old puppy is 3.8 lbs. How big will he get as an adult?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I do the trick of doubling the weight at 4 months but, like all guesstimates- it’s not perfect. Zeus will probably be about 8 lbs- give or take a pound- when all is said and done. Best wishes to you and you little guy!

How to predict my Standard Poodle puppy's adult size from parents?

Coco will likely weigh around 55 to 60lbs, her height should be around 23 to 24 inches tall. Of course dogs are not machines, and this is just an average guess at height and weight. There are always exceptions to the norm, ie smaller or taller than the average prediction, weight will depend ,, of course, on muscle mass and fat.

My 2-month Golden Retriever puppy is 6 lbs. Is she too small?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Mocha seems to be on the small size for a 2 month Golden. On average they are around 10 lbs at that age. The smallest can be around 5 and the largest around 17 pounds. The amount she is eating seems appropriate for her size. Have a great day!

Will my Standard Poodle puppy be small as an adult if its mom is tiny?

The breed standard for a bitch is between 46 and 71 pounds approximately, she sounds quite small. I would check her papers and make sure she is KC registered as a standard poodle. It is very hard to know what size the puppies will reach, so I would only consider buying one if you could accept it possibly being on the small side.
