How accurately can my vet predict my puppy's full adult size?

Hi there. I'm afraid it's not possible to tell what breed a puppy is just by looking at a photo, as coat color and length, general body shape, etc. often change a great deal as puppies grow. From what I can see, he looks like a medium-to-large breed of some sort. Possibly some kind of retriever mix, but that's just a guess. If you don't have any information about his parents, your best bet would be to have a DNA test such as a Wisdom panel done. This would give you more information about what breed (or mix of breeds) he is, which would allow you to make a more educated guess about his adult size and weight.

Cute puppy! I wonder if she has some herding breed in her with those white feet... At this age it's pretty tough to offer any kind of accurate guess. There's no perfect prediction, but a general guideline is that at 3 months of age (~12 weeks) puppies tend to be about 1/3 of their adult weight, and at 4 months of age (~16 weeks) they tend to be about 1/2 of their adult weight. So, if you hold off a few more weeks, once Luna is about 3 months old we can start to get a bit of a better idea! Hope that helps!

Even though Orux is smaller than his siblings, he can still grow to close to full size. He may be a bit smaller than them when he becomes an adult, but he should be around their size. Keep in mind that every breed has a range of sizes and weights, and dogs within that breed can go anywhere on the range. So even if he's on the smaller size, he will still be within the normal range for a Rottweiler. Only time will tell how big he will become. I hope this helps.

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!

It is impossible to age a pup from pictures, especially without any indication of breed etc. Your vet ir vet nurse may be able to provide some indication from a dental exam as teething is quite predictable in the majority of dogs. Sight and balance would not be expected to be fully developed by 8 weeks

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.

Congrats on your new dog! Without seeing Kyle, I cannot say what kind of dog he is or how big he will grow. Unfortunately, there is no way to share photos on the forum, so you can request a consult with an expert online to share photos of him, and they can give their opinion on his breed and potential size. You can bring Kyle into the vet for their opinion. Kyle will need to see a vet anyway for vaccines, heartworm medications, deworming treatments, and flea medications, so you can simply as the vet during your appointment :-)
