How much bigger will my puppy get?

My seven month old puppy is a mixed breed. Probably Australian Cattle Dog, Beagle, and Labrador Retriever. He weighs 25 pounds, has a 17" neck and 21" around his mid-section behind his front legs, and about 13" at the shoulder. He may be 15" - he's a wiggleworm.


He has all his adult teeth, and he was neutered at about16 weeks.

How much bigger will my puppy get?
anytime with a mix breed it is hard to know for sure so all you can do is estimate. He still is a puppy but I'm guessing that he probably will not go much over 45lbs.
Reply:height wise at a full year...he will stop growing at 2 years
Reply:AS BIG AS HE CAN GET
Reply:tough question. How big are his paws? They usually have to grow into them. If they look like snow shoes, good luck, and I'll buy stock in whatever dog food you are feeding him.


But those three breeds don't get all that large, so I would say most likely between 50 and 75 pounds. Hard to say without seeing him.
Reply:they keep growing for up to 2 years......


About 1 1/2 they slow down and fill out.





Hes still has some growing,
Reply:I'd say the bigger of the 3 breeds...our puggle will be the size of his mother who was a beagle
Reply:with that mix of breeds hes probably going to get pretty big, maybe 40-50lbs but thats just a guess :x it could be smaller because of the beagle.. or larger if the lab blood in him came from a large lab. x_X
Reply:Sounds like he doesn't have much more to grow he may get as big as the Australian Cattle dog and Lab but not much bigger. Dogs stop growing after they are a year old.
Reply:he'll probably be around the size of the retriever because he has 2 bigger breeds in him and only 1 small one and at 7 months if he's already that size I would count on him being as big as or almost as big as a retriever.
Reply:A dog is considered an adult at 12 months old. Therefore, after a year and maybe a couple of months they are full size. If your dog was four months. He'd have a couple more growths spurts. He will get taller then get bigger and look gangly then fill out to adult size. Labs and Ausssies tend to be medium and beagles small. So your dogs size can vary. 45lbs sounds close. Maybe more or less. The easiest way is to look at his feet. They rarely lie. If his paws are huge and he trips over them. He will be big. If they are petite and he prances around. He will be small. If he has all his adult teeth I wouldn't worry. He about done no huge spurts should happen.
Reply:A Good way to tell how big ur puppy will get is to look at the size of it paws if they are bigger then he is then he has a lot of growing to do yet
